Visa Significantly Expands Stablecoin Support Across Four New Blockchains

Global payments leader Visa is set to dramatically expand its crypto services by adding support for four new stablecoins running on four distinct blockchains. CEO Ryan McInerney announced the move during the company’s recent earnings call, emphasizing the strong momentum in their stablecoin initiatives.

Key Expansion Details

• New Stablecoins & Blockchains: Visa will introduce four new stablecoins, representing two currencies, which can be accepted and converted into over 25 traditional fiat currencies. Specific details on the tokens and networks were not disclosed.
• Current Support: This bolsters Visa’s existing stablecoin support, which already includes USDC, EURC, PYUSD, and USDG across major blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, and Avalanche.
• Massive Growth:McInerney pointed to significant growth in stablecoin usage:
  • Visa has facilitated $140 billion in crypto and stablecoin flows since 2020.
  • Global consumer spending using Visa’s stablecoin-linked cards increased fourfold in the most recent quarter compared to the previous year.
  • The monthly volume for stablecoin-linked services has surpassed a $2.5 billion annualized run rate.

Future Focus: Banking and Innovation

Visa is “doubling down” on integrating stablecoins into traditional finance, with key priorities including:

1. Cross-Border Payments: Enhancing money movement capabilities with Visa Direct to facilitate faster and more efficient cross-border transactions.
2. Institutional Tools: Expanding stablecoin offerings for banks and financial institutions, building on the recent Visa Direct pilot that enables institutions to pre-fund cross-border payments using USDC and EURC.
3. Core Capabilities: Investing in its solutions layer to offer features like enabling banks to mint and burn their own stablecoins via the Visa tokenized asset platform.

The expansion underscores Visa’s belief in stablecoins becoming a “global macroeconomic force” and highlights the firm’s aggressive strategy to embed digital assets into the core of global payments infrastructure.
