Crypto card payments reached a record $12.5 billion in the first half of 2026, a 140% increase since the start of the year, driven by stablecoins and QR code payments. In July 2026, stablecoin card spending crossed $1 billion in a single month for the first time, with $1.03 billion spread across more than 10 million transactions. Jupiter Spend, the Solana-based card, recorded $7.6 million in settlement volume in September 2026, up 8% from the previous month, remaining modest compared to the broader market. The card allows users to deposit USDC or USDT fee-free via Solana and spend at 150 million Visa merchants worldwide, with cashback reaching up to 4% through referrals and ongoing promotions.
