Cryptocurrency payments are making new progress. According to the latest statistics from on-chain data analysis platform Dune Analytics, the consumption popularity of Visa crypto cards in 2025 has completely exploded — net spending jumped from $14.6 million at the beginning of the year to $91.3 million, a 525% increase.



What does this mean? Simply put, more and more people are starting to use crypto assets for daily payments. The shift from investment assets to consumption tools is unfolding in real time. BTC and ETH, as mainstream cryptocurrencies, naturally become important forces supporting this growth.

The data reflects a rapidly increasing market recognition of the convenience of crypto payments. Whether it's international travel, online shopping, or cross-border transfers, the advantages of crypto cards are being discovered by more users. This growth curve may just be the beginning.
BTC-2.92%
ETH-4.56%

A 525% increase is really crazy; it feels like next year will be even more insane. Has the era of using crypto cards to buy coffee really arrived? But it still depends on when the aunties can start using it; that's true mass adoption. Using BTC as a payment method might be a bit wasteful; stablecoins would be better. This data is a bit exaggerated; I need to take another look at Dune's statistics.

525%? Damn, that's a pretty crazy number. Finally, someone is really using crypto.

Oh my god, 525%! This data can't be fake, right? Wait... I haven't even used up my card limit yet. Really? It was just 14.6 million at the beginning of the year, and now it's directly nine times that? Feels like I missed out on another hundred million. But on the other hand, if this surge is real, I need to quickly swap BTC for USDC. Is this the so-called mainstreaming? Feels like it's not happening that fast.

525% increase? Why do I feel like this number is a bit crazy, is it real? Are crypto cards really that useful? I'm still using traditional bank cards. Is this another hype? Let's wait and see after the hype passes. Visa crypto card spending has surged. Is this really good news or just data fabrication? No hype, no negativity. If this can be widely adopted, it would be incredible. It's already 2025, and some people still don't know about the convenience of crypto payments?

A 525% increase? I look at my wallet, why don't I feel it haha --- Really? Everyone around is using crypto cards to pay? Why am I still an old-timer --- Paying with crypto abroad is indeed cool, but I feel sorry about the gas fee --- Is it supported by BTC and ETH? Then should I go all in... No, I need to stay calm --- Turning investment assets into consumer tools sounds awesome, but it still feels like a niche for small players --- A 525% increase sounds great, but I wonder if the data is fake --- I just want to know when I can use a crypto card to buy cigarettes at convenience stores --- Is this growth real? Why does it seem like no one around is using it --- More and more people are using it? Maybe my circle is too small... or maybe it's still a very small minority

525%? That's a bit outrageous. Finally, crypto payments are breaking through the mainstream.
