Crypto card volume hits $7.8B record as monthly surge tops…

Cumulative volume on crypto-linked payment cards has reached a record $7.8 billion, with monthly volumes up 230% since May 2025, according to data cited by The Kobeissi Letter. The milestone marks a sharp acceleration in real-world crypto spending that goes well beyond speculative trading activity.

The 230% monthly surge is the number that stands out: it suggests adoption is compounding, not plateauing. Crypto-linked cards — which let holders spend directly from wallets or automatically convert holdings at the point of sale — have quietly become one of the most tangible on-ramps for everyday crypto utility.

For the broader market, sustained payment volume growth at this pace is a structural bullish signal.
