Visa Tests Stablecoin Payouts: Faster Payments for Creators & Gig Workers

Visa is testing a new method for businesses to pay creators and gig workers using stablecoins, aiming to expedite payments globally. This pilot program allows companies to send funds directly to recipient’s wallets, enabling faster transactions with enhanced transparency and security. Unlike traditional currency transfer methods, this approach utilizes USDC or other stablecoin options like PYUSD for immediate fund disbursement. The company plans to expand access in 2026 after a successful initial rollout.
