The monthly transaction volume for crypto-linked credit and debit cards has surged to approximately $7.8 billion, marking a significant 230% increase compared to last year. This growth reflects a broader acceptance of crypto payment options, which have become increasingly available since 2024.
According to a report by The Kobeissi Letter, Visa dominates this market, accounting for nearly 90% of all crypto card transactions. Partnerships with native blockchain companies, such as Jupiter Global, have facilitated this expansion. Jupiter Global, which is associated with the Jupiter decentralized exchange on the Solana network, is part of a growing trend where stablecoins are used for everyday purchases.
Data from OKX reveals that grocery store purchases topped the list of spending categories in January 2026, constituting 26% of all transactions made with their stablecoin payments card, while restaurants and online shopping made up 18% and 13% respectively. The increasing utilization of crypto for daily expenses signifies a shift in how digital currencies are perceived, moving beyond speculation to practical application.
