Bitcoin Cash Spending In Australia Represents 93% Of Total Spend

A new report is in the Bitcoin Cash news, showing that the Bitcoin Cash spending in Australia has outshined BTC retail spending in a major way during the month of September.

The other month when BCH captured 90% and more of the total spend was October where the spending rose to new highs. Now, the website has published the November report outlining that the crypto-based expenditures at retail businesses are growing.

The founder of Bitcoinbch.com Hayden Otto has recently published the third monthly Australian Cryptocurrency Expenditure at Retail Businesses report where he said that the Bitcoin Cash spending continues to shine in the region.

The altcoin news also detailed that October’s numbers mainly derive from “large retail payments” which come from businesses and professionals including “lawyers, accountants, engineers, electricians, and builders.”

To source the data for the October report, Bitcoinbch.com used stats from the underwriting firms Travelbybit (TBB) and Hula (Hackings Underwriting Logistics App).

“The Hula system has expanded and provided valuable BCH visibility on the largely hidden retail peer-to-peer economy in Australia. Surprisingly, less than 20% of the Bitcoin BCH merchants are visible via the Hula data, lending confidence to these Bitcoin Cash retail numbers,” Otto wrote when detailing the Bitcoin Cash spending.

“On the other hand, our source of BTC retail data (and that of other cryptos) is more extensive due to their localisation to a single point-of-sale platform in Australia, the Travelbybit point-of-sale (PoS).”

A few of the highlights also include that the Bitcoin Cash spending recorded 93% of November’s crypto spending in Australia. As far as platforms which allow merchants to accept Bitcoin Cash (BCH) payments in-store, Otto’s report detailed that the Bitcoin Cash Register (from Bitcoin.com) PoS shined.

“The Bitcoin Cash platform of choice in Australia is the Bitcoin.com Cash Register App, a simple, effective and very fast point-of-sale system that continues to gain market share from its rivals, recording 93% of expenditure in November up from 90% in the previous month,” the research outlined.

All in all, Australia was the first country to see a large populace of BCH-only acceptance. Otto said that not only the region has a high concentration of BCH accepting retailers – the vast majority of the merchants also “walk-the-talk with only a Bitcoin Cash crypto payment option.”
