1/ There has been a lot of discussion lately about the potential use case of stablecoins for retail payments at merchants.
Given every stablecoin transaction is publicly visible today, what does the onchain data show?
2/ First what does retail transaction behavior at merchants look like? Across all Visa transactions over the last 12 months (through March), the average transaction size was $45.
Most people tap for a coffee, not a car.
3/ Now, if we expand that into an estimated retail spend range of $0 - $250.
What does the data show? There was a total of $48.5B of stablecoin volume over the last 12 months in this range which is < 1% of all adjusted stablecoin volume.
That’s a clear signal.
4/ While this $48.5B of volume is from retail-sized transactions, it includes stablecoins being used to deposit or withdraw into exchanges for crypto trading or transferred peer to peer between consumers. Therefore it’s likely that only a fraction of the $48.5B is being spent at merchants
5/ The reality is that today, stablecoins are being used for high value transfers, business to business and cross-border payments
Retail transactions at merchants? Still a small part of this.
6/ Direct use of stablecoins at merchants is hard:
- Limited merchant acceptance
- No consumer protections and value proposition
- Poor experience with little standardization across blockchains
7/ That’s why we believe stablecoin-linked cards are carving a clear path forward making Visa the acceptance network for stablecoins
If you hold stablecoins, you can spend at any merchant that accepts Visa. The merchant doesn’t need to change a thing
