Visa and Bridge Launch Stablecoin Payments in Latin America
Visa has rolled out a new stablecoin payment service in Latin America, partnering with Bridge, a Stripe-owned technology firm. The initiative targets markets including Colombia and Ecuador, aiming to streamline digital transactions in regions with volatile currencies.
The collaboration signals growing institutional adoption of stablecoins as payment rails. By leveraging Bridge’s infrastructure, Visa bypasses traditional banking channels to offer near-instant settlements—a strategic move in underbanked economies.
