2025 was an exceptional year for WalletConnect, and this time, the numbers truly speak for themselves.
We achieved 119% year-over-year growth, enabled $400B+ in network volume, and supported 55.5 million active users. WalletConnect sits at the core of the onchain world. Wherever users connect, WalletConnect is there.
WalletConnect has been a quiet force, deeply embedded across the crypto infrastructure stack. We power applications, wallets, institutions, chains, and payments behind the scenes.
WalletConnect will still be the defacto connectivity layer across the financial internet, but it’s time to bring the ecosystem we support into the real world, to the checkout.
In 2026, WalletConnect expands decisively into payments.
We will support payment solution providers, point-of-sale systems, e-commerce checkouts, cards, fintech apps, and banks, enabling crypto to function as a first-class payment method.
Stablecoin volume is already outpacing traditional card networks, surpassing trillions of dollars annually, more than Visa and Mastercard combined. And yet, crypto still lacks everyday utility. You can’t reliably use USDC to buy your coffee, your groceries, or your designer bag.
That gap is exactly what we’re solving.
We are not replacing existing services. We’re partnering with them, bringing real-world utility to crypto by working alongside established payment and financial infrastructure. WalletConnect has unmatched reach, supporting 700+ wallets globally, millions of users and billions in capital. With WalletConnect Pay, users can pay and merchants can accept crypto from any wallet, any asset, anywhere, from stablecoins like USDC, USDT, PYUSD, and DAI to assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Sui, Polygon, and beyond.
WalletConnect is building the crypto-native equivalent of Visa and Mastercard: a neutral, open network that connects millions of users, thousands of wallets (from retail to B2B and institutional), and hundreds of chains, enabling seamless, interoperable transactions across the entire onchain economy. Like card networks abstract complexity and create global reach for payments, WalletConnect provides the connective infrastructure that lets crypto users, wallets, and blockchains transact anywhere.
WalletConnect is already embedded in major fintech stacks, including Stripe, Coinbase Commerce, SumSub, and MoonPay. We’ve worked with dtcpay in Singapore to enable crypto payments on point-of-sale devices across APAC. In 2026, we’re focusing that momentum on building the best crypto payments product in the market.
And to be clear: our core WalletConnect offering continues, alongside the launch and expansion of WalletConnect Pay.
The vision is simple:
Use crypto to pay.
With WalletConnect Pay, you can pay with any wallet, any asset, anywhere.
2026 is the year of crypto payments, and WalletConnect will help make it happen.
