For Visa, the agreement with Bridge is key to promoting stablecoins.
The new cards can be used in more than 150 million merchants in the region.
Visa, the global giant of digital payments, has partnered with Bridge, a company specialized in stablecoins that was acquired by Stripe, to enable customers to use cards linked to projects like USDT in several Latin American countries. This functionality will be possible thanks to a single integration through an API, meaning that card issuers will be able to connect to the stablecoin network quickly and easily, without the need to develop complex infrastructures.
According to the official statement, thanks to this integration, holders of the new cards will be able to use their balance in these coins for everyday purchases at any merchant that accepts Visa. It is known that the program will arrive simultaneously in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Chile, and that Visa plans to expand this initiative to Europe, Asia, and Africa in the coming months.
