As African markets continue exploring blockchain-based payment infrastructure, new Binance Research suggests stablecoins are increasingly being used for everyday transactions rather than purely as trading instruments.
According to Binance Research’s June 2026 Monthly Market Insights, crypto card spending has grown 48.6% year-to-date, more than double the growth rate of stablecoin supply. The findings suggest stablecoins are increasingly being used for payments and transactions rather than simply being held as trading collateral.
The report also highlights:
* Real-world assets (RWAs) on blockchain have grown approximately 589% since early 2025, driven by increasing participation from major financial institutions.
* Crypto ETF flows are showing stronger correlations with high-yield corporate debt than traditional technology sectors, pointing to growing institutional participation.
* Quantum-resistant cryptocurrencies significantly outperformed Bitcoin during the month as investors begin assessing long-term cryptographic risks.
Given growing interest in digital payments, tokenisation and blockchain adoption across Africa, we thought these findings may be relevant to your audience.
