Odaily Planet Daily News: Leon Waidmann, head of Onchain research, posted on the X platform stating that the expansion speed of crypto payments has exceeded most people’s expectations. According to Dune Analytics data, Visa crypto card spending grew by 525% in 2025, with net spending increasing from 14.6 million dollars to 91.3 million dollars.
He believes that consumer payments are just the beginning, with the bigger shift coming from the enterprise side. Enterprises are managing payments and collections on-chain, seamlessly converting between cryptocurrency and fiat currency, running on-chain treasuries, and generating returns from idle balances. Data confirms that cryptocurrency has been used for actual payments rather than limited to trading, card payments have eliminated friction and reduced complexity, and on-chain balances are increasingly performing like currency. Cryptocurrency is transforming from an alternative to the financial system into its foundation.
