Crypto Payment Cards in 2025: 40k Monthly Active Users, Less Than $100 Average Spend Per User
In 2025, crypto payment cards transitioned from niche experimentation to practical adoption, showing exponential growth in deposits and spending. Monthly active users reached 40,000 by October 2025, with average spending under $100 per user, indicating use for small daily transactions rather than speculative purchases. Stablecoins, primarily USDT and USDC, dominated deposits (nearly 100%), reinforcing a debit-like, low-volatility spending model. The @Rain card series led in usage, supported by its role as infrastructure for multiple card projects. Ethereum and Polygon remained top chains for deposits, though multi-chain usage grew due to lower costs and improved routing. Key challenges include privacy risks from on-chain traceability, reliance on centralized service partners, and limited product differentiation. Looking to 2026, growth is expected to focus on economic sustainability, potential credit-based models, and profitability beyond user acquisition.
