  • Crypto is breaking out of speculation as Visa-backed crypto card spending increased 525%.
  • Ether.fi dominated crypto card payments with over $55 million in spending.

The people around the World are using the Visa-issued Crypto cards for payments, and this has massively increased in 2025, showing a 525% jump, according to Dune Analytics, which is quietly turning Crypto from an investment to everyday usage.  

According to the Dune Analytics Data in 2025, People spending through Visa Crypto cards grew from $14.6 million in January to $91.3 million in transactions in December. This made a huge impact and rise in the real-world crypto payments. People have started buying things with crypto more often and using the Crypto cards like normal debit cards. 

Visa’s Backing Fuels EtherFi’s Rise in Crypto Card Payments

The Visa Issued Cards look and work like the Normal Visa Debit cards, which are linked to the Crypto wallets. The users can spend Crypto at the regular stores. Visa is heavily investing in Stablecoins and expanding its partnerships with cryptocurrency. It supports cryptos, keeping Visa at the center of global payments, while the Blockchain technology makes those payments faster, cheaper, and more scalable. 

These cards are offered by the Crypto projects and platforms like GnosisPay, Cypher, and Avici Money, but Etherfi was leading the list. The EtherFi Crypto card handled $55.4 million in spending, which is over 60% of all Visa Crypto Card payments. Cypher is followed by $20.5 million. These EtherFi cards make the users spend the value of staked ETH by turning the Locked Crypto into usable money. 

These Crypto Cards usages are growing fast due to clear Regulations, Better user experience, Economic Uncertainty, and Visa’s Trusted Payment networks. These together make the Crypto cards easy and safe to use for people around the World. The stablecoin usage is also exploding, and Total Stablecoin Transaction volume crossed $2.5 trillion, where USDT and USDC dominate the usage. Smaller stablecoins are also growing fast, especially for the regional and specialized Use cases. 

This shows that the Crypto is no longer speculative; it is being used for travel, online shopping, cross-border payments, etc. So linking these cryptos with the Visa cards may be a faster path to mass adoption. The banks must speed up the Crypto adoption, and the Customer clearly wants Crypto linked payments Options.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
