🔥🚀 VISA X BRIDGE: STABLECOIN CARDS INVADING LATAM! 🚀🔥
Visa has teamed up with Bridge (a Stripe unit) to launch stablecoin-backed Visa cards across Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Chile, letting users spend USDC and other stablecoins at 150M+ Visa merchants globally
Transactions pull funds directly from users’ stablecoin wallets and instantly convert to local fiat at checkout, eliminating crypto-to-fiat hassles
Bridge handles the backend rails—deducting stablecoins and settling merchants in local currency—powered by Stripe’s infrastructure for seamless integration
This follows Mastercard’s landmark move to integrate stablecoin payments via Circle, Paxos, and Nuvei partnerships, signaling a full-on crypto payment race
Jack Forestell, Visa’s CPO, calls this “the moment to scale globally,” while Bridge CEO Zach Abrams highlights the need for interoperability with existing financial tools
