this article is mostly advertising that "company" there may not even be 25000 online stores to accept anything in first place either since the source website is not a known one and specially since OP is just advertising his own website to generate traffic i wouldn't take this type of news seriously.
news sites like this have a track record of "creating news".
Exactly, lately I'm been noticing a lot of post that points to that website so I'm sure that someone is really working hard here to promote that website. Anyways, I search and it looks like a lot of crypto related news have reported this so its probably just a spin article. I think its official though, (
https://twitter.com/UTRUST). They have strategically targetting EU markets and they have partnered with Gambio.de (
https://www.gambio.de/). It says that the Gambio powered stores attributes 30% of e-commerce revenue in Germany so its going to be interesting how this partnership will evolved. The 25,000 figure came the Gambio website itself.
