June crypto card top-ups surge, bucking broader trading slump
Weekly top-ups for crypto cards hit a June peak, even as broader crypto trading sentiment remains subdued. Ten crypto-based projects reached highs in usage and transaction volume in June, and the top five set new usage records in early July. Growth is linked to wider stablecoin use and fintech integration, though some warn aggressive rewards and airdrop promises may be inflating demand. Regulatory scrutiny and custody structures remain key risks.
