Crypto card daily spending hits record high as Visa network and regulatory overhaul drive growth
Daily spending on cryptocurrency payment cards hit a record $36.82 million on July 20. Data showed usage has roughly tripled over the past year even as major crypto prices moved sideways. KAST led daily card payments with $13.64 million, briefly overtaking Hong Kong stablecoin payments firm RedotPay, though the lead flipped back within 24 hours. Market participants cited regulatory clarity and Visa network access as key drivers, while some attributed the spike to KAST incentives.
