A new Reown–YouGov survey spanning U.S. and U.K. crypto users reveals that artificial intelligence and payments ranked as top drivers of crypto adoption this year. Around 37 percent cited these areas as key, with payments poised to become the dominant on chain use case over the next few years, ahead of staking or speculative activity. The dataset shows 34 percent of respondents already use crypto more for remittances, point of sale transactions, or gig economy payouts than for yield farming. AI plays a supporting role personalization, fraud detection, and onboarding automation helping smooth the consumer journey into blockchain finance.
As payment rails modernize and DeFi moves toward everyday utility, pioneers are launching embedded wallet and token solutions across messaging apps and super apps. The tech narrative is shifting: blockchain is no longer just about speculation but about tangible utility. Together, AI and payments represent the two largest accelerators of mass crypto use in 2025.
