Visa Saw Huge 525% Increase In Spending With Crypto Cards In 2025

Visa-issued crypto cards saw a massive spike in usage in 2025, with the total net spend increasing by 525% last year.

According to Dune Analytics data, the total net spend for six crypto cards issued by blockchain projects in partnership with Visa went from $14.6 million in January to $91.3 million at the end of December.

The six cards tracked come from crypto payments platforms GnosisPay and Cypher, along with decentralized finance projects EtherFi, Avici Money, Exa App, and Moonwell. 

The crypto card from Visa-partnered EtherFi led all competitors by a fair margin, notching a total spend of $55.4 million, compared to second-placed Cypher at $20.5 million.  

“These figures demonstrate not only the fast adoption of crypto cards among users but also the strategic importance of crypto and stablecoins for Visa’s global payment ecosystem,” noted Polygon researcher @obchakevich_ via X on Sunday. 

“The increase in spend volume confirms that crypto is no longer just an experimental technology but a fully-fledged tool for everyday financial transactions,” they added.
