Visa is expanding its use of stablecoins following a surge in demand from banks, fintech companies, and cross-border payment users. The payments giant plans to support four additional stablecoins on four different blockchains, although the specific coins remain undisclosed. This move comes as Visa reported strong financial results for Q4 2025 and noted increased adoption of stablecoins for everyday transactions and international money transfers. Visa’s CEO Ryan McInerney highlighted stablecoins’ growing importance in its settlement network during the company’s earnings call, noting over $140 billion in crypto and stablecoin-related flows processed since 2020. The company has seen a significant rise in stablecoin usage across Visa-linked cards and payment services, contributing to four times higher spending volume in Q4 compared to last year. With more than 130 stablecoin-linked card issuing programs operating in over 40 countries, Visa’s network now sees a $2.5 billion annualized run rate of stablecoin transactions. Visa has not yet announced the specific stablecoins or blockchains they will support but plans to add four new options representing two currencies and allowing conversion to over 25 traditional fiat currencies. This expansion will provide banks and financial institutions using Visa for digital payments with more diverse options. To further facilitate cross-border settlements, Visa has introduced a pilot program allowing banks to pre-fund transactions using stablecoins like USDC and EURC. The company’s next step is to enable banks to mint and burn stablecoins directly on its tokenized asset platform, eliminating reliance on external stablecoin issuers for settlement. This strategic expansion follows Visa’s strong financial performance in Q4 2025, which saw $10.7 billion in revenue and $40 billion for the year, with payment volume reaching $14 trillion.
