How can e-commerce businesses use digital currencies for transactions?
One aspect overlooked is consumer behaviors and the associated incentives. While in some cases blockchain routed payments will settle faster, cost the merchant less, and can provide enhanced security - none of this matters if consumers don't choose to pay with crypto. The card schemes have developed very sticky incentives (rewards programs paid for by interchange) and excellent UX (NFC, Apple Pay, etc.) so these remain challenges as-of-yet to be solved that impact any expected conversion of 'traditional' payment usage to crypto.

How can e-commerce businesses use digital currencies for transactions?
The sentence "no one controls them or can manipulate their supply or value" is not accurate. In the case of Bitcoin, only a finite number (21M) will ever be mined, so this is correct. For Ethereum - and most L1s - there is a foundation which controls supply through minting and burning of tokens. This changed for Ethereum when their protocol moved from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS) with the total Ether (ETH) in circulation controlled by the Ethereum Foundation. As Ether is now an inflationary asset (vs deflationary like BTC) there is controlled inflation, typically moving between 0.2% - 0.7% per annum. In this manner, the Ethereum Foundation can be viewed as a Central Bank when it comes to the amount of ETH in circulation.
