Retail Crypto Payments Turning Point: @kwok_phil Highlights Merchant Acceptance; Stripe USDC on Solana, Shopify BTC/ETH Gateways, Visa USDC Settlement Signal Fast Adoption

According to @kwok_phil, a major crypto inflection will occur when everyday shops accept crypto at checkout, with adoption accelerating rapidly once merchants turn it on, which is a view aimed at retail payment rails and market readiness (source: @kwok_phil). Traders should note the rails already in production: Stripe supports USDC payments on Solana for merchants, enabling low-fee, fast settlement for retail checkouts (source: Stripe), Shopify merchants can accept BTC and ETH through Coinbase Commerce and BitPay apps in the Shopify ecosystem (source: Shopify; source: Coinbase Commerce; source: BitPay), and Visa has expanded USDC settlement on Solana with merchant acquirers to streamline fiat-crypto settlement flows (source: Visa). These integrations currently channel merchant flows toward USDC on Solana, BTC via Lightning providers, and ETH via on-chain commerce gateways, defining the assets and networks most exposed to retail payment volumes right now (source: Stripe; source: Lightspark; source: Coinbase Commerce; source: BitPay). For positioning, monitor new merchant-integration announcements from Stripe and Shopify, Visa updates on stablecoin settlement, and USDC circulation changes reported by Circle, as these events can shift liquidity and fee dynamics across BTC, ETH, and Solana markets without relying on speculative narratives (source: Stripe; source: Shopify; source: Visa; source: Circle).
