Chainalysis reports a sharp 159% rise in crypto payments to gray market peptide vendors, from $12 million in Q4 2025 to $32 million in Q1 2026, driven by demand for weight-loss and muscle-enhancing compounds. Some vendors shifted from selling fentanyl precursors to peptides, using stablecoins for larger transactions. Despite growing sales, safety concerns rise as independent lab testing by buyers drops 88%, increasing risks of contamination and serious health issues. The market could exceed $100 million annually if current trends continue.
