“Crypto is continuing to grow in popularity, with a recent survey conducted by CoinFlip finding almost 20% of Americans have invested in or purchased cryptocurrency,” said Daniel Polotsky, CEO of CoinFlip. “Our partnership with eGifter is another avenue we’re offering to our customers to transact in Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin, and turn their crypto into eGift cards.”

CoinFlip is focused on delivering solutions that democratize access to essential financial services, especially for the unbanked and underbanked. Having no bank account or debit card can be prohibitive to purchasing goods and services online. A Q2 2020 report from the U.S. Census Bureau reports U.S. retail e-commerce reached $211.5 billion, up 31.8% from the first quarter, and 44.5% year-over-year. CoinFlip is allowing these populations to engage with the industry and buy eGift Cards using crypto to transact with merchants that don’t accept Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin directly.

“According to a recent report, the gift card industry will reach over $200 billion by 2024 with a CAGR of more than 9% from 2020-2024,” said Tyler Roye, CEO of eGifter. “We are excited about our partnership with CoinFlip, which will allow their online customer base to access our platform via crypto and participate in this thriving industry.”

eGifter offers 300 brands of digital gift cards to consumers. All of the gift cards are new (not resold), authorized by the issuing brands, and can be printed or presented from a mobile device.
