Visa and Bridge Partner to Launch Stablecoin-Linked Visa Cards in Latin America
Visa and Bridge, a Stripe-owned stablecoin platform, are collaborating to introduce stablecoin-linked Visa cards, targeting seamless crypto-backed payments. The initiative allows fintech developers to issue Visa cards that utilize stablecoin balances through a single API integration.
The program will initially roll out in six Latin American countries—Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Chile—enabling consumers to spend stablecoins at over 150 million Visa-accepting merchants globally. Bridge will convert stablecoins into local fiat currencies at the point of sale, bridging the gap between digital assets and everyday commerce.
