Crypto cards outpace banks in micro-spending in Europe: Report
CointelegraphSaturday, June 28, 2025 at 12:04:54 PM
Forget the stereotype that crypto is just for big-ticket investments—new data shows crypto-linked debit cards are becoming the go-to for small, everyday purchases across Europe. Nearly half of these transactions are for amounts under $12, and online spending with crypto cards is blowing past traditional bank card averages. It’s a sign that digital currencies are quietly slipping into mainstream shopping habits.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about tech-savvy traders anymore—it’s about real people buying coffee or groceries with crypto. The fact that these cards are beating banks for small purchases suggests crypto is becoming practical, not just speculative. For Europe, where digital payment infrastructure is already strong, this could signal a faster shift toward crypto as a daily spending tool than anyone expected.
