Visa has broadened its stablecoin settlement capabilities, integrating support for PayPal’s PYUSD, Paxos USDG, and Circle’s EURC into its payment infrastructure. The expansion includes interoperability with Avalanche and Stellar blockchains, extending beyond Visa’s existing Ethereum-based settlements.
By incorporating Avalanche and Stellar—networks known for rapid transaction speeds and minimal fees—Visa aims to enhance payment efficiency and stablecoin utility across financial ecosystems. This development addresses rising institutional and corporate demand for versatile settlement solutions with improved scalability.
The strategic move aligns with Visa’s ongoing commitment to digital currency adoption, building on initiatives like its stablecoin-linked debit cards introduced in Latin American markets since 2021. This multi-network integration reinforces stablecoins’ growing role in global payments infrastructure among banks and government entities.
