June payment statistics are here. Monero stayed in first place, Bitcoin rails held second overall, and stablecoins became a larger part of the payment mix.
Monero Remains First
Monero led again at 40.73% of crypto deposit volume. That is up from 33.81% in May, putting XMR back above forty percent.
Bitcoin Holds Second
On-chain Bitcoin came in second at 14.05%, while Lightning added another 5.96%.
