As stablecoins expand into real-world payment infrastructure, cryptocurrency cards are emerging as a key means in the distribution structure.

According to Bitcoin.com, a cryptocurrency specialized media outlet, on May 2 (local time), Tron founder Justin Sun assessed that cryptocurrency cards represent the next structural transition for digital assets to spread to general users. Sun emphasized, “Cryptocurrency cards are not just a trend, but the next stage of distribution.”

According to the report, the stablecoin market has grown to a total supply of $310 billion, showing a trend of transitioning from a speculation-centric asset to a real payment infrastructure. In 2025, stablecoin transaction volume reached approximately $33 trillion, surpassing Visa's $14 trillion. However, a significant portion of this involves trading and liquidity movement, with consumer payment volume gradually expanding.

Sun found the core of this change not in technology but in the distribution structure. He explained that initially, it was mainly used for wallet-to-wallet transfers and decentralized finance, but now it is expanding into everyday payment networks through card forms. This means that digital assets have entered a stage where they are directly connected to existing payment systems.

The cryptocurrency card infrastructure is also rapidly expanding. Visa and Mastercard support stablecoin payments through over 150 million merchants and more than 130 card programs. Card-based payments have grown to nearly the scale of person-to-person remittances, establishing themselves as a major usage channel.

Tron is considered a platform with a direct stake in this trend. The Tron network circulates the most Tether (USDT) among major blockchains, and if card payment expansion continues, it is highly likely to benefit from increased transaction volume. Sun has consistently emphasized building a payment-centric ecosystem.

The cryptocurrency market has entered a phase of transitioning from a wallet-centric structure to a payment network-centric structure. The expansion of card infrastructure is becoming a key pathway for digital assets to connect to real-life consumption, and changes in distribution methods are leading to a restructuring of the overall market.
