Revolut stablecoin payments spike 156% to $10.5B in 2025, research says

Revolut stablecoin payments rose in 2025, with estimated Revolut stablecoin volume up 156% to about $10.5 billion, according to Alex Obchakevich research. The estimate points to a faster pace of stablecoin payments 2025 inside the fintech app.

Revolut did not publish official stablecoin payment totals for 2025. Instead, the figures came from Obchakevich’s estimates built on Dune Analytics data. The research compared Revolut stablecoin volume with total platform payment activity.

Obchakevich estimated the stablecoin share of total Revolut payments at about 0.583% in 2025. He said that share almost doubled compared with 2024.

“Despite the small absolute share, the dynamics are impressive,”

Alex Obchakevich said, citing Dune Analytics data.

Revolut stablecoin transfer amounts cluster at $100 to $500

The research said stablecoin transfer amounts between $100 and $500 appeared most often on Revolut. Obchakevich estimated this band made up about 30% to 40% of transactions. The pattern adds detail to how Revolut stablecoin payments show up in daily activity.

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

Alex Obchakevich said. His comment tied the stablecoin transfer amounts to routine payment behavior, not only high value moves.

Stablecoins are crypto tokens designed to track fiat value, often the US dollar. That structure can make stablecoin payments 2025 easier to price than volatile coins. It also helps explain why Revolut stablecoin payments could fit mid sized transfers.

Revolut USDC and Revolut USDT swaps offered 1:1 conversion feature

Revolut expanded its stablecoin features in October, according to the report. It launched a tool to exchange US dollars into Revolut USDC and Revolut USDT at a 1:1 rate. The report said the feature charged no commissions or hidden fees.

The rollout linked stablecoin access to simple in app conversion. As a result, users could move from dollars into Revolut USDC or Revolut USDT without using an external exchange flow. That change can affect how Revolut stablecoin volume builds inside the app.

The report focused on the feature’s structure and timing. It did not provide separate totals for Revolut USDC versus Revolut USDT usage. Still, the 1:1 conversion feature became part of the broader Revolut stablecoin payments story.

Ethereum stablecoin volume leads Revolut, while Tron stablecoin volume follows

Revolut supports several networks for stablecoin transfers. The report named Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Network choice can shape fees and settlement speed for Revolut stablecoin payments.

Obchakevich estimated Ethereum stablecoin volume made up over two thirds of Revolut stablecoin activity. He put Tron stablecoin volume second at 22.8%. The split highlighted where Revolut stablecoin volume concentrates by blockchain rail.

The network breakdown adds context beyond the headline growth number. It shows which rails carried most stablecoin payments 2025 on Revolut. It also frames how Revolut stablecoin payments may track broader stablecoin usage across chains.

Stablecoin payment growth forecasts rise as Revolut stablecoin payments expand

The report also cited a broader forecast for stablecoin payment flows. Bloomberg Intelligence projected stablecoin payment flows could reach $56.6 trillion by 2030. It linked that projection to rising retail use.

The same report said the stablecoin market sat around $312 billion at the time of writing. It also cited a US Treasury estimate that the stablecoin market could reach $2 trillion by 2028. Those figures provided context for the scale behind Revolut stablecoin payments.

The article also pointed to other firms working on stablecoin payment systems. It said Western Union planned a stablecoin settlement system on Solana in the first half of 2026. It also mentioned MoneyGram and Zelle working on stablecoin solutions tied to cross border payments.

The Old Altcoin Season Narrative Is Evolving in the 2026 Market

I view Bitcoin’s consolidation below $92,000 not as a lack of interest, but as a signal that capital is rotating toward areas with clearer utility and structural demand.

In this environment, the idea of a “classic altcoin season,” where speculative small-cap tokens broadly outperform, has failed to re-emerge and may be structurally changing.

Market indicators continue to reflect persistent Bitcoin dominance and underperformance across much of the altcoin landscape, reinforcing that shift.

As the industry matures, valuation is increasingly driven by real utility rather than speculative narratives.

The era where retail momentum alone could lift hundreds of tokens simultaneously is fading.

Capital today is far more selective, favoring projects that demonstrate tangible use cases, strong fundamentals, and institutional relevance.

This is evident in how liquidity has concentrated around core infrastructure layers and established networks, rather than thinly traded altcoins.

Another major force reshaping the market is the rise of RWAs and regulated digital products.

These offer institutions alternative ways to gain exposure and yield through compliant, lower-volatility structures, reducing reliance on speculative tokens as the primary growth vehicle.

As a result, capital is no longer forced into broad altcoin baskets to express risk appetite.

Taken together, these dynamics suggest that future altcoin outperformance will be selective and fundamentals-driven, tied to specific narratives such as DeFi infrastructure, real-world asset integration, or clear technological differentiation, rather than a blanket rally across all sub-$1B tokens.

This evolution reflects a market that is growing up, where quality and utility increasingly matter more than hype, reshaping how crypto cycles unfold in 2026 and beyond.
