Visa Launches Stablecoin Payments in Latin America in Partnership with Bridge
Visa has taken a significant step toward mainstream cryptocurrency adoption by launching stablecoin payments across six Latin American countries, including Mexico and Argentina. The payments giant partnered with Stripe-owned startup Bridge to develop Visa cards linked to dollar-backed stablecoins, enabling everyday transactions.
The move signals growing institutional confidence in digital assets as practical payment instruments. By integrating stablecoins with Visa’s vast merchant network, the initiative could accelerate crypto adoption in a region ripe for financial innovation.
