Stablecoin Payments Surge 45% to $482B Despite Stalled Supply
According to analytics firm Allium, stablecoin payments reached $482 billion year-to-date, marking a 45% increase. The growth comes alongside rising card spending and integrations by major payment processors including Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe, even as aggregate stablecoin supply stalls.
Why it matters for the market
Expanding payment rails reflect growing mainstream transactional utility for digital assets, which could influence liquidity and adoption benchmarks across proof-of-work networks like Kaspa. However, increased stablecoin settlement does not directly translate into network demand or transaction volume for KAS.
