Institutional adoption accelerates
- For the first time, institutional transactions outpaced retail, marking a new phase in Paybis’ evolution.
- Corporate onboarding times have shrunk by 37%, boosting operational efficiency and user experience.
- White-label integrations now account for 19% of Paybis’ total volume, up from 7 % year-over-year.
Retail activity retains strategic momentum
- Median transaction size rose to $604, reflecting more confident retail engagement.
- Notably, 74 % of first-time users opted for self-custody wallets (e.g. Ledger Live, Rabby) rather than depositing to exchanges.
- The shift toward wallet-first behavior signals maturation in how everyday users access digital assets.
Regional trends & payment rails
- Europe leads, contributing ~36 % of global volume (YoY growth +129 %).
- The S. contributes 28 %, rising +142 %, while Asia-Pacific accounts for 18 % (+116 %).
- Latin America (~10 %) and Sub-Saharan Africa (~6 %) are likewise expanding rapidly, driven by stablecoin demand and alternative rails like Pix and SPEI.
- Real-time rails (e.g. SEPA Instant, UPI, Pix) are displacing card-based settlement, reshaping margins across the on-ramp ecosystem.
Competitive positioning
- Compared to peers, Paybis leads in institutional penetration:
Paybis – 82 % B2B share, active in 29 countries
• Coinbase Pay – 68 %
• Ramp Network – 61 %
• Transak – 58 %
• MoonPay – 52 %
- Pricing pressure is strongest in small-ticket retail segments (average rates down ~22 % YoY), whereas larger enterprise deals remain relationship-driven, with limited fee compression.
Outlook
Paybis’ H1 2025 results reinforce the narrative that crypto on-ramps are transitioning from speculative bridges to regulated, FX-backed infrastructure for institutions. Retail adoption is evolving, but the real impetus now comes from embedded treasury flows, API integrations, and compliance-ready rails.
As jurisdictions sharpen regulation (e.g. Europe’s MiCA, U.S. stablecoin reforms) and instant banking rails proliferate, Paybis is well positioned to lead in this next chapter of crypto infrastructure.
