Stablecoin Retail Payments Index

See how stablecoins are really being used for payments

Welcome to the Stablecoin Retail Payments Index

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.
