That kind of coordinated, real-world usage has been rare in crypto’s history — typically limited to fragmented pilots or isolated vendor experiments. By contrast, this was a cohesive, measurable demonstration of crypto being used as currency. While networks like Ethereum and Polygon routinely log millions of daily transactions, most are tied to smart contracts, gaming, or finance — not…
