One of the reasons why gift cards have grown into popularity over the last four to eight quarters is their innovative use cases. For instance, gift cards can be used to buy cryptocurrencies as well as convert cryptocurrencies into gift cards to make purchases. Similar use cases in Turkey have been boosting the gift card market growth over the last four to six quarters.

Consumers are looking for easier ways to invest in Bitcoin and other altcoins and similarly want simpler ways to spend their holdings. Notably, platforms such as Paxful are allowing consumers to buy crypto using gift cards. On the other hand, Bitrefill, the global payments platform, allows consumers to exchange Bitcoin for branded gift cards, which can then be used to complete purchases. Some of the brands for which consumers can buy gift cards through Bitrefill include Carrefour, Amazon, Google Play, Boyner, IKEA, and Turk Telecom, among several others.

Consequently, as the popularity of cryptocurrencies continues to grow in Turkey, the publisher expects it to support the overall growth of the gift card market over the next four to eight quarters.
