29th October 2025 – Visa is deepening its presence in the crypto ecosystem by expanding support for stablecoin and blockchain networks across its global payments infrastructure. The company announced a strategic partnership with Paxos, and confirmed it will now support four stablecoins across four different blockchains, enabling seamless conversions into more than 25 fiat currencies.
While the effort reflects Visa’s long-term push to modernize cross-border transactions, it also signals growing confidence in regulated digital assets as an essential part of the payments landscape.
Speaking during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call, Visa CEO Ryan McInerney said:
“We are adding support for four stablecoins, running on four unique blockchains, representing two currencies, that we can accept and convert to over 25 traditional fiat currencies.”
In parallel, Visa revealed that stablecoin-linked card spending quadrupled in Q4 year-over-year, a sign that digital assets are becoming more actively used in real-world transactions.
Since 2020, Visa has facilitated over $140 billion in crypto and stablecoin flows, including over $100 billion in purchases made using Visa credentials.
McInerney added that Visa has launched over 130 stablecoin-linked card programs across 40+ countries, and is now enabling banks to mint and burn their own stablecoins, further embedding blockchain capabilities in traditional banking systems.
In addition to Ethereum and Solana, Visa is expanding blockchain compatibility to Stellar (XLM) and Avalanche (AVAX). The new integration includes support for USDG and PYUSD, two stablecoins issued by Paxos, providing enhanced flexibility for developers, merchants, and consumers across various blockchain ecosystems.
The partnership represents a meaningful step toward making blockchain-based payments faster, more affordable, and globally accessible.
Visa’s move follows a pilot program in September aimed at testing stablecoins for cross-border transactions. These pilots allowed businesses to settle global payments more quickly and cheaply using on-chain rails.
The company’s latest expansion formalizes those experiments, opening the door for broader adoption of stablecoin payments and decentralized finance integrations.
Although the global regulatory landscape remains fragmented, recent U.S. guidance on USD-pegged stablecoins has given firms like Visa more confidence to build products for compliant, stable-value payments.
