Stablecoin usage on fintech platform Revolut accelerated sharply in 2025, with payment volumes estimated to have climbed 156% year over year to roughly $10.5 billion, as digital dollars gain ground in everyday payments.
Key Takeaways:
- Stablecoin payments on Revolut surged in 2025, with volumes rising by 156% to about $10.5 billion.
- Onchain data shows growth has been steady throughout the year, driven by everyday payments.
- Revolut’s fee-free USDC and USDT conversions are helping push stablecoins into routine retail use.
Revolut has not released official stablecoin payment data for the year, but crypto researcher Alex Obchakevich estimates that stablecoin transactions nearly doubled as a share of the platform’s total payments compared with 2024.
Dune Data Shows Steady Growth in Revolut Stablecoin Flows
The analysis draws on blockchain data compiled by Dune Analytics and focuses on stablecoin flows linked to Revolut wallets.
“Despite the small absolute share, the dynamics are impressive,” Obchakevich said, noting that growth has been consistent throughout the year rather than driven by short-lived spikes.
The trend aligns with broader projections for the sector. Bloomberg Intelligence said this week that stablecoin payment flows could grow at an 81% compound annual rate, reaching $56.6 trillion by 2030, as retail adoption expands and more institutions integrate blockchain-based settlement.
Revolut has actively pushed into the space. In October, the company introduced a feature allowing users to exchange US dollars for USDC and USDT at a 1:1 rate, with no commissions or hidden fees.
The move lowered friction for customers looking to move funds onchain without navigating external exchanges.
Transaction data suggests stablecoins are being used for routine payments rather than only large transfers.
Obchakevich said transfers between $100 and $500 accounted for roughly 30% to 40% of all stablecoin transactions on the platform, pointing to practical, day-to-day use cases.
“This indicates that Revolut users actively use stablecoins for everyday medium-sized payments, not just for large transfers,” he said.
Ethereum dominates stablecoin activity on Revolut, accounting for more than two-thirds of total volume, while Tron follows with about 22.8%.
The platform also supports networks such as Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum and Optimism.
The broader stablecoin market is valued at about $312 billion, and US Treasury estimates suggest it could reach $2 trillion by 2028. Revolut is not alone in tapping into that growth.
Western Union plans to roll out a stablecoin settlement system on Solana in 2026, while MoneyGram and Zelle are also moving to integrate stablecoin-based payments for cross-border transfers.
Stablecoin Transactions Hit $33 Trillion in 2025 as USDC Leads Usage
Global stablecoin transaction value reached $33 trillion in 2025, marking a 72% increase from the previous year, according to Bloomberg data compiled by Artemis Analytics.
USDC emerged as the most-used stablecoin by transaction volume, processing $18.3 trillion, while Tether’s USDT handled $13.3 trillion, despite maintaining its lead by market capitalization at $187 billion.
The surge in activity followed the passage of the GENIUS Act in July 2025, the first comprehensive U.S. regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.
Industry participants say the legislation has provided legal certainty that encouraged broader institutional and global adoption.
