Visa Expands Digital Payments with Multi-Blockchain Stablecoin Integration
Visa is accelerating its embrace of decentralized finance by integrating four stablecoins across four distinct blockchains into its payment infrastructure. The MOVE signals a strategic pivot toward hybrid traditional-digital settlement systems, with the company already processing over $140 billion in crypto-linked transactions since 2020.
The stablecoin initiative covers two major currencies convertible to 25+ fiat options through Visa's rails. Growth metrics reveal striking adoption—spending via stablecoin-linked Visa cards quadrupled year-over-year, while $100 billion of the total volume represents direct consumer purchases using Visa credentials.
