What is crypto card volume and why $600M now?

Crypto card volume tracks spending via cards backed by crypto wallets, mostly stables. $600M monthly reflects doubled adoption amid easier regs and merchant buy-in.

Why is USDC gaining on USDT in crypto cards?

USDC's regulatory clarity appeals to EU/US users; USDT dominates riskier markets. Card data shows 20-point shift in six months.

Will crypto cards hit $1B monthly soon?

Likely by mid-2025 if regs stabilize—current 300% YoY growth supports it, but macro risks loom.
