    Revolut stablecoin payment volumes surged 156% in 2025, researcher estimates

    The most common stablecoin transfer amounts are in the $100 to $500 range, showing Revolut customers are actively using stablecoins for everyday medium-sized payments.

    The most common stablecoin transfer amounts are in the $100 to $500 range, showing Revolut customers are actively using stablecoins for everyday medium-sized payments.

    Stablecoin adoption on fintech Revolut’s banking platform showed sharp growth in 2025, with stablecoin payment volumes estimated to have increased 156% year over year to about $10.5 billion, as stablecoins gain traction in global payments.

    While Revolut has not published official stablecoin payment figures for 2025, crypto researcher Alex Obchakevich estimates that stablecoin volumes on the platform nearly doubled as a share of total payments compared with 2024.

    “Despite the small absolute share, the dynamics are impressive,” Obchakevich said, citing data from Dune Analytics.

    Bloomberg Intelligence predicted on Thursday that stablecoin payment flows would increase at an 81% compound annual growth rate to $56.6 trillion by 2030, fueled partly by rising retail adoption.

    Revolut is playing its role, having stepped up its stablecoin strategy in October by launching a feature to exchange US dollars for the USDC (USDC) and Tether (USDT) stablecoins at a 1:1 rate without commissions or hidden fees. 

    Stablecoin payments between $100 and $500 most common

    Obchakevich noted that the most common transfer amount range was between $100 and $500, making up 30% to 40% of all transactions. 

    “This indicates that Revolut users actively use stablecoins for everyday medium-sized payments, not just for large transfers.”

    Ethereum, Tron dominate Revolut stablecoin volumes

    Revolut supports several blockchains, including Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum and Optimism.

    Ethereum accounted for over two-thirds of Revolut stablecoin volume, while Tron ranks second at 22.8%.

    The stablecoin market currently sits at $312 billion, with the US Treasury estimating in April that it would reach $2 trillion by 2028.

    Revolut isn’t the only institutional player pushing retail stablecoin adoption.

    Remittance platform Western Union is set to launch a stablecoin settlement system on Solana in the first half of 2026, while MoneyGram and Zelle are also rolling out stablecoin solutions to fuel faster cross-border payments.
