Visa is taking a bold step toward integrating stablecoins into its global payment network, enabling transactions across four distinct blockchains representing two fiat currencies. This move marks a significant shift from treating stablecoins as niche products and instead positions them as integral to Visa’s core settlement infrastructure. Since 2020, the company has been quietly laying the groundwork for this integration, testing blockchain-based payment rails alongside traditional banking systems. This transition is evidenced by a staggering fourfold increase in stablecoin spending on Visa cards compared to last year, illustrating a growing consumer preference for crypto-native payments tools that blend digital asset flexibility with familiar payment interfaces.
