Visa Processes $200M in Stablecoin Transactions Amid Regulatory Optimism
Visa's Q2 2025 earnings report revealed a $200 million milestone in stablecoin settlement volume, underscoring its strategic pivot toward blockchain-based payments. The growth stems from its 24/7 stablecoin settlement infrastructure, though CEO Ryan McInerney characterized the activity as "meaningful but modest" relative to traditional flows.
The payments giant is betting on programmable finance tools like its Tokenized Asset Platform, which enables banks to issue stablecoins and deploy conditional transactions. "Regulatory clarity will be critical," McInerney noted, signaling Visa's long-term commitment despite the nascent adoption curve.
