Cryptocurrency is gradually moving beyond trading and investing and into everyday payments. OKX reported that spending through its crypto card in Europe increased by 280% year over year in 2026, while the number of transactions rose by 178%.
 

The OKX Card supports USDC and USDG. At the time of payment, the stablecoins are automatically converted into euros, while merchants receive a standard fiat payment through the Mastercard network.

OKX says the trend highlights a broader shift in user behavior: crypto is increasingly being used not only as an asset for trading and holding, but also as a means of paying for everyday expenses.
