Odaily Planet Daily News Onchain Research Director Leon Waidmann posted on the X platform stating that the expansion speed of crypto payments has exceeded most people’s expectations. According to Dune Analytics data, Visa crypto card spending grew by 525% in 2025, with net spending increasing from 14.6 million US dollars to 91.3 million US dollars.
He believes that consumer payments are only the beginning, with larger transformations coming from the enterprise side. Enterprises are managing payments and collections on-chain, seamlessly converting between cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, running on-chain treasuries, and generating yields from idle balances. Data confirms that cryptocurrencies have been used for actual payments rather than limited to trading, card payments eliminate friction and reduce complexity, and on-chain balances are increasingly performing like currency. Cryptocurrency is transitioning from an alternative to the financial system to its foundation.
