Visa is steadily building the infrastructure to make stablecoins part of everyday finance. As of July 31, 2025, it’s not just dabbling. The payments giant is expanding its stablecoin settlement capabilities in a move that brings more currencies, more chains, and more real-world use cases into the fold. Further strengthening the fact that stablecoins aren’t just surviving regulatory scrutiny they’re maturing into something Visa believes is worth integrating at scale.
Visa’s latest update includes support for:
Two new USD-backed stablecoins: Global Dollar (USDG) and PayPal USD (PYUSD), both issued via Paxos
Two additional blockchains: Stellar and Avalanche, expanding beyond Ethereum and Solana
One euro-backed stablecoin: EURC, issued by Circle
Visa’s stablecoin settlement platform now supports four different stablecoins across four blockchain networks. Stellar and Avalanche are the newest additions, joining Ethereum and Solana which Visa had already been using. By expanding to these networks, Visa can move digital money faster and more efficiently. This gives the company more flexibility to support different types of payments like crypto-linked debit cards, cross-border transfers, and other real-time transaction services that rely on stablecoins.
These developments are not entirely new territory for Visa. The company has been testing stablecoin settlement for several years in live, production environments. The focus is on making stablecoin payments as seamless and reliable as using regular money. Offering partners the option to settle in digital or traditional currency, depending on their operational needs.
Visa’s approach aims to support a wide mix of users, from wallets and developers to banks and merchants by offering safe, connected ways to use blockchain for payments. As more people use crypto cards and pay directly on the blockchain, Visa is positioning itself as a reliable link between stablecoins and the traditional financial system.
The move is more than just a technical upgrade, it reflects a larger shift in the role stablecoins are beginning to play in global finance. No longer limited to trading and speculation, stablecoins are now being shaped to fit the regulatory and operational frameworks required for everyday, mainstream payments.
By supporting a wider set of currencies and chains, Visa is building the foundation to enable stablecoin payments at scale—across borders, across platforms, and with the kind of institutional backing that major financial players require.
As new digital currencies and blockchain technologies continue to emerge, Visa’s ongoing investments indicate that it is not treating this as a passing trend. It is preparing for a future where stablecoin-based settlement is a standard part of the payments industry’s infrastructure.
