Crypto card payments reached a record $12.5 billion in 2026, up 140% year-to-date, largely fueled by stablecoins like USDC and USDT and QR code payments. Jupiter Global's Solana-based card, Jupiter Spend, contributes to this growth but holds a modest $7.6 million monthly volume as of September. The card allows fee-free stablecoin deposits and offers up to 4% cashback, which has boosted transaction volumes. Despite strong features and Visa's wide merchant network, Jupiter remains a smaller player in a rapidly expanding market, with concerns about how much volume is driven by cashback incentives versus organic use.
