Stablecoin Retail Payments Index
See how stablecoins are really being used for payments
Most on-chain stablecoin volume comes from trading and liquidity flows. The Stablecoin Retail Payments Index filters these out to highlight everyday transactions — payroll, supplier transfers, and ecommerce payments under $10k.
Quality data
Orbital’s Index provides a clearer picture of how stablecoins are being used for real payments across regions, networks, and tokens. Built in partnership with Artemis and Sensor Tower, it delivers a data-driven view that cuts through trading noise and shows genuine retail-scale adoption.

Methodology & Limitations: This Index is based on analysis of public blockchain transaction data. Our methodology includes filters designed to isolate smaller, wallet-to-wallet transfers under $10,000, which we use as a proxy for “retail” or consumer-scale payments. This threshold is an analytical assumption; while it helps remove larger institutional or speculative trades, it does not guarantee that all included transactions are truly consumer payments. Similarly, wallet activity is inferred using best-effort heuristics, which may result in some misclassification. Blockchain data is inherently pseudonymous and incomplete. This report does not capture off-chain transactions or private transfers, and should be considered directional rather than comprehensive.
