After all, BTCPay is allegedly one of the most popular ways that merchants are able to start accepting Bitcoin payments. In fact, the post notes that &#8220;tens of thousands&#8221; of stores support it.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, customers will benefit from the system as well, according to an excerpt from the post:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Confidential Transactions allow customers to transact without worrying merchants or other 3rd parties will see their holdings. Fast two-minute settlement times means customers\u2019 orders are finalized quickly. BTCPay Server\u2019s integration of Liquid also means customers have the option to spend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/crypto-trading-privacy-gets-a-boost-as-15m-of-tether-moves-to-liquid-sidechain\">tokenized fiat like USDt<\/a> instead of precious L-BTC.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Companies adding more support for their customers is always a good thing.
