Utilizing an easy-to-use interactive map functionality, CryptoMaps shows users where they can find crypto-friendly merchants in their area, facilitating commerce opportunities.
CryptoMaps enables people to discover local crypto-friendly merchants at one central, reliable source. Everything from ATMs, bars, brick-and-mortar stores and event venues are covered, providing users all necessary information in just a few taps. The app allows users to filter businesses by the type of currency that is accepted as well as services offered. Plus, the interactive map shows the proximity of merchants to users.

"As a cryptocurrency investor, I knew firsthand how difficult it was to discover businesses which accepted alternate forms of payment," said Craig Cole, chief executive officer and founder of CryptoMaps. "With CryptoMaps, virtual currency owners can easily connect with merchants who accept crypto, helping make crypto-transactions part of daily life, and ushering it into the mainstream."
As evidenced by the 2,000 percent growth of crypto-transactions between 2013 through 2017, virtual currency has already left an indelible mark on society. Consumers utilized virtual currency on merchant services for a monthly average of $190.2 million in 2017, in contrast to only $9.8 million a month in 2013, proving the ever-increasing consumer desire to make virtual currency part of day-to-day spending.
