Stablecoins are moving from the fringes of the crypto world into everyday payment transactions. Their use on the Revolut fintech platform accelerated significantly in 2025, with the volume of stablecoin payments estimated to have grown by 156% year-on-year to approximately $10.5 billion. This shows that digital currencies pegged to the value of the dollar are no longer just an investment tool and are increasingly being used as a means of everyday payment.
Although Revolut has not released official figures, cryptocurrency analyst Alex Obchakevich estimates, based on data from Dune Analytics, that the share of stablecoin transactions in the total volume of payments on the platform has nearly doubled compared to 2024.
“Despite the fact that the absolute share of stablecoins is still relatively small, the growth dynamics are impressive,” Obchakevich said.
Broader forecasts also confirm this trend. Bloomberg Intelligence estimated this week that global payment flows in stablecoins will grow at a rate of 81% per year, reaching $56.6 trillion by 2030. The key driver is expected to be growing use by ordinary users.

Revolut bets on simplicity
Revolut actively jumped on this wave in October when it launched a feature allowing users to exchange US dollars for USDC and Tether stablecoins at a 1:1 ratio—with no commissions or hidden fees. For users, this means they can use digital dollars as easily as regular fiat currencies in the app.
The data also suggests that stablecoins on Revolut are not just for experimentation. The most common transaction amounts range between $100 and $500. This category accounts for 30 to 40% of all transfers. These are typical amounts for everyday payments – for example, for services, purchases, or transfers between individuals.

Ethereum reigns supreme, followed by Tron
Revolut supports several blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, and Optimism. However, Ethereum clearly dominates in terms of stablecoin transaction volume, accounting for more than two-thirds of all transfers. The second strongest network is Tron, with a 22.8% share.
The total stablecoin market is currently worth around $312 billion. In April, the US Treasury Department estimated that it could grow to as much as $2 trillion by 2028.
Revolut is certainly not alone in this development. Traditional players in the financial world are beginning to see stablecoins as the infrastructure for future payments. Remittance giant Western Union plans to launch a stablecoin payment settlement system on the Solana network in the first half of 2026. MoneyGram and the US payment network Zelle are also planning similar steps.
What was the domain of crypto enthusiasts just a few years ago is rapidly becoming a common financial tool. The growth of Revolut shows that stablecoins are no longer just speculation – they are becoming a practical means of everyday payment.
