The cryptocurrency card recharge amount for USD Coin (USDC) reached $218 million in July, marking a 46% increase compared to the previous month. This figure is more than double the recharge amount of $95 million for Tether (USDT). According to CryptoRank data, the USDC card recharge amount in July 2026 was higher than the total recharge amounts of other stablecoins. Although Tether has a larger total supply, there is a tendency for USDC to be preferred for consumer payments and settlements. Cryptocurrency cards are structured to be used in general card payment networks after recharging with stablecoins, and this figure indicates an increase in the actual use of USDC. The July data serves as a reference indicator of how stablecoins are used in payment and settlement services outside exchanges, and the increase in card recharge amounts suggests a shift in stablecoin preference within the payment infrastructure. The increase in USDC recharge amounts highlights the differences in choice between Tether and other stablecoins. For domestic readers, the expansion of dollar-based stablecoin payment infrastructure is crucial, and Coinbase has supported USDC payments. Future monthly data will help confirm the sustainability of USDC payment demand.
