Analysts said the mix of assets used for crypto card payments has changed significantly over the past few years. At the beginning of 2024, nearly 88% of transactions were settled in the EURe stablecoin. By 2026, the market had largely shifted to U.S. dollar denominated stablecoins. In July, USDC accounted for about 58% of all payments, while USDT represented another 26%. EURe’s share declined to about 2%.
The blockchain landscape also shifted. Optimism led with a market share of about 29%, followed by Solana and Base with about 19% each. Meanwhile, Gnosis, which dominated the crypto card market in early 2024, saw its share fall to about 2%.
