Golden Finance reports that payment technology company Stripe has announced a partnership with Visa to launch a stablecoin-linked credit card service, which will be implemented through its stablecoin platform Bridge, acquired for $1.1 billion in October 2024. The service will initially be launched in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Chile, allowing users to directly spend their stablecoin balances at Visa merchants, with Bridge handling the conversion and settlement between stablecoins and fiat currencies. By integrating stablecoins—digital currencies pegged to stable assets like the US dollar—Stripe and Visa aim to facilitate faster and cheaper cross-border transactions, particularly in regions with underdeveloped payment infrastructure.
