BREAKING: Monthly stablecoin card spending volumes surged another +16% in July, to a record $1.03 billion.
This marks +200% year-over-year volume growth with over 10 million purchases made during July.
The growth has comes amid surging demand for instant settlement and global access, which stablecoin cards provide.
Jupiter, the world's largest onchain platform has also driven adoption through localized integrations, like QR-based payments and accessibility across 60+ countries, with 68% of volume coming from non-US users.
To put this into perspective, just 3 years ago, monthly crypto payment card volume was at just $1 million.
We expect to see $1.5+ billion in monthly volume by year-end.

Zero-day exploits are going to become normal. For most of computing history, discovering a serious vulnerability required scarce human expertise, time and persistence. AI is destroying that scarcity. Frontier models can already read enormous codebases, reason across functions, compare historical patches, identify previously unknown vulnerabilities and increasingly construct working exploit chains. Anthropic has found vulnerabilities in software that had already endured years of conventional fuzzing. Google has now observed a threat actor using what it believes was an AI-developed zero-day. The important shift is economic: vulnerability discovery is becoming industrialized.
Soon the attacker isn't one researcher staring at code. It's thousands of autonomous agents continuously probing every implementation, dependency, bridge, API, sequencer, validator client and administrative surface simultaneously. That makes architecture matter enormously. Proof-of-work does not make software immune to exploits. Kaspa's node software can have bugs like any other software. What PoW does is anchor the fundamental problem of controlling consensus to something intelligence alone cannot manufacture: physical computation and energy. You can know every rule of the network. You can have an AI smarter than every developer who wrote it. That knowledge does not magically produce hashpower.
This is why Kaspa becomes increasingly interesting in an AI-dominated world. Kaspa retains permissionless PoW while using GHOSTDAG to order parallel blocks, allowing the network to operate at 10 blocks per second without abandoning Nakamoto-style resource-based consensus. AI makes intelligence abundant. That means systems increasingly dependent on credentials, privileged operators, governance layers and complex trusted infrastructure face an expanding machine-speed attack surface. Kaspa moves in the opposite direction: transparent rules, permissionless participation, decentralized proof-of-work and a consensus mechanism ultimately grounded in an external physical cost. In the age of superhuman intelligence, one of the strongest security primitives may be something intelligence cannot simply think its way around: work.
Crypto payments should be as easy as sending a WhatsApp message.
That's exactly what we're building with Kasapp!
Kasapp brings Kaspa's 1-second BlockDAG directly into WhatsApp, making crypto payments and everyday digital services accessible to millions across Nigeria and, eventually, Africa. 🇳🇬⚡
With Kasapp, you'll be able to:
📲 Buy airtime & mobile data (MTN, Airtel, Glo & 9mobile)
⚡ Pay electricity bills and receive meter tokens instantly
📺 Renew DSTV, GOtv & Startimes subscriptions
💸 Send and receive KAS instantly using a phone number or any Kaspa wallet
🚀 Experience real-world blockchain utility without complicated wallets or long onboarding processes
Our goal is simple:
Make crypto useful for everyday payments, not just trading.
We've also opened a discussion thread in the official Kaspa Discord to gather ideas, suggestions, and community feedback as we continue building.

Tokenized cows just backed a farm loan on Brazil's stock exchange
Ten dairy cows in Paraná became the first tokenized livestock collateral on B3, Brazil's stock exchange, backing a loan worth about $19,400. Each cow carries a digital ID generated from AI sensor collars tracking its health in real time.
Banks usually cut up to 60% off livestock collateral because they can't verify an animal is even alive. Live monitoring removes that discount just as Brazil's farm bankruptcies have nearly quadrupled since 2023.
Cowmed already monitors 100,000 cows worth around $395M and projects a fifth could be pledged within two years, stretching RWA tokenization from T-bills into working farm animals.
Crypto gave individuals sovereignty. Staghunt is betting the next frontier is the group version: coordination markets.

Kaspa network hashrate took a sharp dip this week before snapping back. It slid from around 400 PH/s early in the window down to a low near 270, then recovered hard to 340.85 PH/s currently, most of the drop retraced in a day or so.
The dip lines up with Humpool winding down, with miners switching their operations to other pools.
Kasmart has now set up a full integration with eBay! Any eBay sell can now sync their entire ebay store to Kasmart and begin to accept #Kaspa as a payment option!
It's time to grow our ecosystem to the main stream!
The coordination and effort required to synchronize a complex upgrade across a truly decentralized network are a real challenge, and success is never a given. A good moment for a toast to all non-trivial life accomplishments
AI can now operate on Kaspa as an economic actor, not as an on-chain brain. The model does not need to live inside consensus. That would be wasteful. The intelligence runs at the edge, Kaspa settles the consequences.
Agents can hold and spend KAS, manage covenant-controlled wallets, enter enforceable contracts, post and fulfill bounties, submit lane-based operations, pay for compute, verify work, and settle proofs back to L1. The computation happens off-chain, but the value transfer, ordering, state enforcement, and proof settlement anchor into proof-of-work.
That is the real unlock. Kaspa gives autonomous software a monetary substrate that does not require banks, payment processors, stablecoin issuers, or centralized rails. AI does the work elsewhere. Kaspa makes the work economically final.
Stock market leverage in Asia is beginning to crack:
Stock trade defaults reported by securities firms in Taiwan rose to $62 million so far in June, the highest monthly total since data began in 2019.
A stock trade default occurs when investors who bought shares on margin fail to pay for those purchases, or when sellers fail to deliver the shares required to settle the trade.
Trade defaults have soared +300% over the last 2 months and now exceed the 2021 record by ~20%.
This comes as margin purchases have surged +160% over the last 12 months, to $19 billion, close to the all-time high set just before the 2000 Dot-Com crash.
By comparison, margin debt has risen +94% in South Korea over the same period compared to +50% in the final 12 months of the Dot-Com bubble.
Market leverage is out of control.
