Visa and Aquanow Partner for Stablecoin Payment Expansion

Visa has partnered with Aquanow to expand the use of USDC, a stablecoin, for cross-border payments in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (CEMEA). This collaboration aims to modernize payment settlement processes, reduce transaction costs, and enhance cross-border efficiency. The partnership leverages USDC’s stable value and speed for faster settlements across borders. Visa and Aquanow are focused on driving institutional adoption of stablecoins in the region, a move that signals a potential shift from traditional financial systems.
