Interesting data: The market size of Crypto Cards is expanding rapidly. According to Artemis research data, trading volume has skyrocketed from an average of $100 million per month to over $1.5 billion, which annualizes to nearly $18 billion — this scale is already close to the size of stablecoin P2P transactions. More notably, Visa holds an absolute dominance with over 90% of on-chain transaction volume. Full-stack card issuers are reshaping the entire payment stack, which means the power dynamics of payment infrastructure may be quietly shifting.

18 billion annualized? Visa's 90% can't be shaken at all, and Web3 payments still depend on them.

Visa's 90% control is a bit outrageous. Where's the decentralization we were promised?

18 billion annualized? That number sounds a bit outrageous. Visa accounts for over 90%, it still feels like it's being heavily suppressed by traditional finance.
