Catenaa, Wednesday, October 29, 2025- Visa said yesterday it would add support for four more stablecoins on four distinct blockchains, enabling conversions to more than 25 traditional currencies.
Visa said the move follows a surge in stablecoin-linked card usage, with fourth-quarter spending on such cards quadrupling from a year earlier.
Visa CEO Ryan McInerney said the expansion reflects the company’s effort to increase payment options and streamline transfers across its network.
The new stablecoin integrations cover two currencies and will operate alongside existing fiat rails.
McInerney noted Visa has facilitated over $140 billion in crypto and stablecoin flows since 2020, including more than $100 billion in purchases of crypto and stablecoin assets using Visa credentials.
The payments firm now operates more than 130 stablecoin-linked card programs in over 40 countries. Earlier this year, Visa piloted the use of stablecoins for cross-border payments to allow businesses faster international money transfers.
Stablecoins have gained appeal following U.S. regulatory clarity for USD-pegged tokens, prompting financial institutions to explore digital asset use in payments.
Visa’s move comes amid growing partnerships with crypto-native companies, a strategy aimed at expanding the versatility of its card network while addressing evolving customer demand for digital currency options.
Industry analysts said Visa’s adoption may encourage wider mainstream use of stablecoins for everyday transactions and cross-border business payments.
