Stablecoin-linked payment cards have surged in popularity, with monthly spending increasing from $100 million in early 2023 to $1.5 billion by the end of 2025.

The year 2026 will test the scalability of these innovations amid regulatory scrutiny, with a focus on improving cross-border payment efficiency.
