The world’s payment titan just made its boldest move in crypto yet.

Visa is adding support for four new stablecoins across four different blockchains, covering two key currencies, each able to convert into 25+ fiat currencies — straight inside Visa’s settlement layer.

During its Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO Ryan McInerney confirmed:

Visa will add support for four new stablecoins on four unique blockchains, across two currencies convertible into 25+ fiat currencies.

🧠 Why This Matters: Stablecoins Aren’t Just Digital Dollars — They’re Financial Railways

Stablecoins are becoming:

🪙 Payment rails (instant, borderless money)

💰 Yield instruments (backed by interest-bearing assets)

⚙️ Programmable financial building blocks

This dual identity makes them the profit engine + payment engine of the new financial system.

Visa sees it — and is now building inside the stablecoin economy, not outside it.

🔂 The Numbers Tell a Revolution

Visa stablecoin growth, one year:

✅ Stablecoin-linked Visa card spending quadrupled

✅ Monthly stablecoin settlement volume exceeded $2.5B run-rate

✅ Over 130 stablecoin card programs across 40 countries

✅ More than $140B crypto/stablecoin flows since 2020

And now:

Visa will let banks mint & burn their own stablecoins via Visa’s Tokenized Asset Platform.

That’s not adoption — that’s infrastructure power projection.

🌐 Supported (and Expected) Networks & Coins

Existing support:

USDC, EURC, PYUSD, USDG on Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Stellar

• Expected expansion:

USDC, USDT, + emerging players across networks like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, + potential newcomers (Base, Polygon, etc.)

Visa handles settlement → merchants stay fiat. Crypto goes invisible. Utility goes mainstream.

🧠 Visa New Financial Identity:

Key Progress:-

• 16 Billion tokens issued already

✔️ Goal: tokenize 100% of e-commerce

• 12.6 Billion real-time money transfers via Visa Direct

✔️ +27% growth within a year

• Cross-border stablecoin pilot launched

✔️ Banks can pre-fund international transfers using USDC / EURC

• Visa Flex launched

✔️ One smart card → multiple funding sources (crypto, bank, wallet)

✔️ Rolling out across Europe

• Visa Accept live

✔️ Turn any phone into a Visa payment terminal (first launch in Sri Lanka)

• The Big Shift:-

This is not Visa “Integrating Crypto”

it’s Visa rewriting global finance rails.

From Card Network → to programmable money + blockchain-powered banking.

🌍The Bigger Picture:- The Stablecoin Race

Every major financial institution will eventually issue a stablecoin — or risk falling behind.

Signals everywhere:

• Visa → 4 new stablecoins, bank minting, cross-border rails

• Western Union → launching USDPT on Solana

• Stripe → building its own chain for payments (Tempo)

• Global Banks → will mint their own stablecoins or get left behind

• Governments → rolling out stablecoin policy frameworks

➡️ Network effects are forming. Who controls the rails, controls global money flow.

The new competition: payment rails vs programmable money rails.

🏦 Financials Powering the Strategy:-

💳 Visa FY 2025 performance:

• Revenue +11%

• EPS +14%

• Payment volume $14T (+8%)

• 258B transactions processed (+10%)

• 16B+ payment tokens issued

• Mission: tokenize 100% of ecommerce

This is not a “Crypto Add-On.”

Visa is becoming a hyperscale settlement platform.

🌐 The Coming Stablecoin Era:-

Stablecoins now exceed $300B+ circulating.

Regulators are drafting formal frameworks.

Traditional institutions are entering the arena.

Visa thesis matches the market reality:

Stablecoins will anchor next-gen finance — DeFi + TradFi merging.

Transparent, programmable, collateral-backed digital money — but with legal and banking rails attached.

We're entering the stablecoin super-cycle:

A hybrid system — Open, Regulated & Global.

🎯 Bottom Line:-

Visa message is crystal clear:

Stablecoins are not an experiment.

They are the next global settlement standard.

This move makes stablecoins:-

• Ubiquitous

• Regulated

• Bank-integrated

• Retail-functional

• Institutional-scalable

Money is changing — Quietly, Structurally, Irreversibly.

The networks that win this era won’t just process payments — they will run programmable finance.

🎯 The Real Takeaway:-

This isn’t a crypto trend.

It’s a financial power reset.

Blockchains Become rails.

Stablecoins become money.

Visa becomes the gatekeeper.

Banks don't need deep blockchain tech — Visa powers it for them

Finance isn’t being replaced — it’s being upgraded.
