TRX Artemis report: crypto card spending topped $1.5B monthly by late 2025, mostly on fiat rails
A Reddit post citing an Artemis report says crypto-card spending grew from about $100 million a month in early 2023 to over $1.5 billion by late 2025. The post says most of that volume settled on fiat rails, with merchants receiving regular fiat through card networks rather than crypto. It adds that in most programs the stablecoin is sold at top-up or payment, so the crypto part happens on the funding side.
