Cryptocurrency payment card monthly transaction volume increased by 230% year-on-year in 2025, reaching a cumulative transaction value of $7.8 billion.

According to Cointelegraph, monthly payment volumes for cryptocurrency-linked credit and debit cards have surged approximately 230% year-on-year since 2025, reaching a cumulative transaction value of $7.8 billion this month. The Kobeissi Letter states that Visa processed roughly 90% of cryptocurrency card transactions by partnering with on-chain-native firms such as Jupiter Global. The report notes that adoption of cryptocurrency cards accelerated in 2026, primarily driven by the growing use of stablecoins as a payments rail—enabling users to spend stablecoins just as they would fiat currency. Earlier, OKX launched a Mastercard-based stablecoin payment card in Europe in January 2026.
