Solana Card Payments Hit Record $69.5 Million
Stablecoin-funded card spending on the Solana blockchain reached a new monthly high in July 2026, led by the KAST card.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Credit Cards
Stablecoin card payments settled on Solana reached a record $69.5 million in July 2026, according to the extracted figures. KAST, a Solana-native Visa debit card that settles in USDC and USDT, processed $62.34 million of that volume.
Why it matters
The figures show stablecoins being used for everyday purchases at Visa merchants rather than only for crypto trading. KAST's share of Solana card volume indicates how concentrated this market is among a small number of providers.
Solana card volume of $69.5 million in July 2026 compares with $62.34 million processed by KAST alone, while all-chain crypto card spending reached $748.7 million, 144.7% higher than a year earlier. The extraction does not show how these totals were verified across providers.

Market Dynamics
Solana's role as the settlement layer for stablecoin card payments places this record within a broader shift of stablecoins from trading tools to spending instruments. Visa's share of on-chain card transactions, reported at 90%, shows how traditional card networks are being used as the payment rails for these crypto-funded purchases.
For users who hold USDC or USDT, a Solana-linked card offers a way to spend stablecoin balances at Visa merchants without first converting to fiat currency. The extraction does not describe any fees, limits, or account requirements for these products.
The takeaway
Stablecoin card spending is growing quickly from a small base, so readers comparing payment options should check fees, settlement currency and merchant acceptance before using these cards. Records in a single month do not show whether the trend will continue.
