Visa’s crypto card spending skyrockets 525% in 2025 as digital payments go mainstream
Visa’s crypto card usage surged in 2025 as digital currencies became a more common way to pay. Spending on these cards rose sharply, climbing from $14.6 million in January to $91.3 million by December. The shift reflects growing consumer interest in using cryptocurrencies for daily purchases.
Six major crypto cards—GnosisPay, Cypher, EtherFi, Avici Money, Exa App, and Moonwell—were tracked during the year. Among them, EtherFi’s card dominated, recording over $55.4 million in transactions.
The rise in crypto card spending marks a clear trend: digital currencies are moving from niche experiments to practical payment tools. Visa’s data shows users increasingly relying on these cards for routine transactions like shopping and bills.
EtherFi’s card led the market by a wide margin, processing $55.4 million—more than double Cypher’s $20.5 million. The remaining four cards saw lower but still significant activity, contributing to the overall growth. Visa also expanded its support for stablecoins in 2025. The company now enables transactions across four blockchains and launched a Stablecoins Advisory Practice in December. This new team advises banks and businesses on integrating digital currencies into payment systems, positioning Visa for further growth in the sector.
The 525% increase in Visa’s crypto card spending highlights a rapid shift in consumer behaviour. With stablecoin support and advisory services now in place, the company is set to play a larger role in crypto payments. The data suggests these cards are no longer just a novelty but a mainstream option for spending digital assets.
