Crypto Payment Cards Surpass $10.62B in Cumulative Onchain Spending

Crypto-linked payment cards have surpassed $10.62 billion in cumulative onchain spending volume, according to new data from Paymentscan.

The growth of crypto payment card activity has shifted markedly over the past year, with monthly top-ups accelerating at a pace consistent with an early 'mass adoption' phase rather than slow-burn niche product.

Paymentscan's dataset splits into two distinct phases: an initial 'infrastructure build' period marked by gradual gains from March 2023 through mid-2025, followed by a sharper expansion phase beginning in late 2025.

During the initial phase, monthly top-ups rose steadily but slowly, taking nearly two years to reach around $400 million. However, after September 2025, the curve steepened, with monthly top-ups roughly doubling over about 10 months to approach $900 million by June 2026.
