Paymentscan

Paymentscan is an analytics platform dedicated to crypto payment cards. It tracks onchain settlement data across 24 card programs (e.g., RedotPay, EtherFi, KAST) and breaks down metrics by payment network (Visa vs. Mastercard) and blockchain (Base, Optimism, Solana, etc.). Core metrics include monthly transaction volume, transaction count, and active addresses.

Its core value lies in standardized, comparable data for a fragmented market. Crypto card issuers use different settlement architectures—some settle each payment onchain, while others batch or settle offchain. Paymentscan addresses this by independently indexing onchain data, and for programs like RedotPay, Cypher, and KAST where direct spend tracking isn't possible, it tracks top-ups instead, with clear methodology notes to prevent misinterpretation. It also flags self-reported data (e.g., RedotPay spend metrics) to maintain transparency.

The market pain point is the lack of reliable, cross-program benchmarks in a rapidly growing sector. Total monthly volume grew from ~$735M in Mar 2026 to ~$1.12B in Aug 2026 (a ~52% increase), with active addresses rising from ~259K to ~288K. Visa dominates with ~$747M in Aug 2026 vs. Mastercard's ~$15.5M. RedotPay leads with $6.21B all-time volume.

Recent developments include a paid data API (Basic at $999/mo, Pro at $1,999/mo) powering analytics at Polymarket and The Block, and expanded chain coverage. One caveat: some data is self-reported by issuers and not independently verified, which users should factor into their analysis.
