Visa has expanded its stablecoin settlement platform by adding support for new USD- and EUR-backed stablecoins, as well as the Stellar and Avalanche blockchains—advancing its mission to make global digital payments more scalable, interoperable, and efficient.
MALAYSIA, 1 AUGUST 2025 – Visa has taken another major leap in advancing global digital payments by expanding its stablecoin settlement capabilities. The payments giant now supports four stablecoins and four blockchains, reinforcing its leadership in enabling secure, scalable, and interoperable blockchain-based transactions.
Visa has added support for two additional USD-backed stablecoins—Global Dollar (USDG) and PayPal USD (PYUSD)—through a strategic partnership with Paxos. The expansion enables more partners, including banks, fintechs, and card issuers, to leverage trusted digital currencies for settlement across borders and platforms.
Furthermore, Visa now supports two additional blockchains, Stellar and Avalanche, joining Ethereum and Solana on its growing list of supported chains. This provides greater flexibility and interoperability for stablecoin-linked wallets and card solutions.
Also new to the platform is EURC, the euro-backed stablecoin issued by Circle, which is now integrated into Visa’s network. This allows select pilot partners to settle transactions in both USD- and EUR-backed stablecoins, complementing Visa’s existing fiat infrastructure that already supports over 25 currencies globally.
“Visa is building a multi-coin and multi-chain foundation to help meet the needs of our partners worldwide,” said Rubail Birwadker, Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships at Visa. “We believe that when stablecoins are trusted, scalable, and interoperable, they can fundamentally transform how money moves around the world.”
Earlier this year, Visa expanded its stablecoin-linked card programs, aimed at reducing friction in cross-border payments and streamlining onchain settlements. The company is focused on building a universal, blockchain-agnostic layer that supports stablecoin payments with the same security, reliability, and global reach as traditional card networks.
Visa’s stablecoin strategy addresses increasing demand from banks, developers, fintech innovators, and merchants—marking a significant step forward in mainstream adoption of digital assets and blockchain infrastructure.
