How Europeans are actually spending crypto

There's a stubborn myth about crypto spending. The image that persists is a tech nerd or early adopter flaunting their wealth on a sports car or a private dinner, crypto as the currency of excess. The reality, at least for normal OKX Card users across Europe, looks a lot more like an average Tuesday. New data from OKX Card stablecoin transactions in Europe makes this clear: supermarkets, bakeries, takeaways, and the odd holiday booking. Forget the Lambo. People are buying lattes.
