Overview
Visa has integrated blockchain-based settlement into its global payment network, enabling stablecoin settlement for card transactions and cross-border payments. Visa's stablecoin settlement pilot uses USDC on Ethereum and Solana to settle transactions between acquiring banks and card issuers, replacing traditional wire transfers with near-instant blockchain settlement. The company has also launched Visa Tokenised Asset Platform (VTAP) to help banks issue and manage fiat-backed tokens on blockchain. With its network spanning 200+ countries and processing trillions annually, Visa's blockchain integration represents the largest-scale adoption of stablecoin settlement in traditional finance.
