Bech32 adoption
Bech32 is a new bitcoin address format specified by BIP 0173. This page tracks the adoption of Bech32.
Ideally wallets and services would first support sending to bech32 addresses. After almost everything can send to, then people may be willing to adopt bech32 widely for receiving.
The amount of bech32 addresses on the blockchain is tracked on this website: https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/bech32-statistics?orgId=1
