Visa Doubles Down on Crypto: Adds New Stablecoins & Blockchains for Faster Settlements
Visa just turbocharged its crypto ambitions—rolling out support for fresh stablecoins and blockchain networks. TradFi meets DeFi, whether Wall Street likes it or not.
The payments giant isn’t dipping a toe—it’s diving headfirst. New tokens, more chains, and a clear signal: dollar-pegged digital assets are becoming the plumbing of global finance.
Meanwhile, banks still charge $25 wire fees for transactions slower than a 1998 dial-up connection. Some things never change.

According to Visa, pilot partners can now settle transactions in both dollar- and euro-backed stablecoins, thanks to the integration of EURC. This enhances flexibility for institutions conducting business across global jurisdictions and currencies.
The announcement underscores Visa’s evolving role in crypto-native payments. As stablecoins gain traction for everything from remittances to B2B settlements, Visa appears focused on becoming a leading infrastructure provider at the intersection of traditional and blockchain-based finance.
By supporting a growing mix of assets and networks, Visa is positioning its platform for broader adoption as stablecoin usage moves further into the financial mainstream.
