Surge in Visa Crypto Card Spending Signals Adoption Wave

Spending on Visa-issued crypto cards skyrocketed by 525% in 2025, highlighting an increasing consumer trend towards using cryptocurrency for everyday transactions.

Data from Dune Analytics revealed that net transaction volumes across six major crypto cards jumped from $14.6 million in January to $91.3 million by December.

Leading the charge was EtherFi’s card, accounting for $55.4 million of spending, with Cypher following at $20.5 million.

This surge suggests a shift in the way cryptocurrency users engage with digital assets, moving from mere experimentation towards regular use.

Alex Obchakevich, a researcher from Polygon, noted that this growth reflects the strategic integration of crypto within Visa’s broader payment ecosystem.

Visa's support for stablecoins is also on the rise, as evidenced by their launch of a dedicated stablecoin advisory team in December.

The data indicates that linking digital assets to established payment systems is a viable path to mainstream adoption.

Notably, stablecoin transaction volumes have surged, surpassing $2.5 trillion across various platforms, with Tether's USDT leading the way.

As the stablecoin market continues to evolve, smaller tokens like EURC and PYUSD are gaining traction and diversifying the landscape.

This growing trend underscores a significant evolution in both consumer behavior and the financial infrastructure around cryptocurrencies.
