For the first time, stablecoins have outpaced Visa in annual payment volume, with the Ethereum network handling 95% of all transactions.
A development in the global payment infrastructure has hinted at a potential shift from traditional payment systems toward crypto-based payment solutions. An annual report tracking the past 6 years of Visa and stablecoin payments has revealed exponential growth in stablecoin usage in the past 12 months.
According to data shared by Ethprofit on X(formerly Twitter), trust in stablecoins like USDT and USDC has heightened. The growth in stablecoin usage was more than 50% in 2024, with the Ethereum network backing 95% of the transactions executed.
As of 2025, the crypto market is witnessing a huge fusion with traditional finance systems as Bitcoin and Ethereum lead the adoption process. This comes as a challenge to the old financial market giants. The question is, will they adopt crypto as the next phase in payments and value transfer soon enough?
