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

And now, a citizen of Peru can walk into a store to buy a watermelon, pay with a stablecoin, and the seller will receive pesos. And all of this — via Visa.
