#StablecoinPayments This week, Visa teamed up with a little-known but ambitious fintech startup Bridge to launch stablecoin-backed cards in six countries in Latin America.

And now, a citizen from Peru can walk into a store for a watermelon, pay with a stablecoin, and the seller receives pesos. And all of this — through Visa.
