Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe Fuel Stablecoin Revolution in Global Finance
Stablecoins are transitioning from a crypto niche to a cornerstone of global finance, backed by heavyweight financial institutions. Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe are spearheading this shift, with stablecoin transaction volumes already eclipsing Visa’s network. The implications for cross-border payments are profound.
Visa’s Tokenized Asset Platform now supports stablecoin issuance and management, while Stripe tests stablecoin payments to bridge dollar access for businesses outside the US and EU. Mastercard’s recent rollout further cements the institutional embrace of this asset class. The convergence of traditional finance and blockchain-based solutions signals a new era for monetary infrastructure.
