#StablecoinPayments This week, Visa teamed up with a little-known but ambitious fintech startup called Bridge to launch stablecoin-backed cards in six countries in Latin America. The word "backed" is key here — it refers to dollars, just digital ones. USDC, to be exact. And now, a citizen of Peru can walk into a store to buy a watermelon, pay with stablecoin, and the seller will receive pesos. And all of this — through Visa.
