- Visa adds support for PYUSD, USDG, and EURC across Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, and Avalanche blockchain networks.
- The move strengthens Visa’s stablecoin settlement system with multi-chain and multi-currency capabilities.
The global payments company Visa has officially added three new stablecoins to its system: PayPal’s PYUSD, Paxos’ USDG, and Circle’s EURC. Furthermore, they’ve also opened support for two additional blockchain networks: Stellar and Avalanche. This isn’t just a portfolio addition, but a concrete step towards a more flexible and affordable cross-currency and cross-chain settlement system.
More Than Just Coins: Visa Bets on Global Financial Access
In total, Visa now supports four stablecoins across four different networks. This is a fairly comprehensive combination for a traditional institution. This further demonstrates that stablecoins are no longer just a startup’s game.
In fact, in its second-quarter 2025 report, Visa claimed to have processed over $200 million in settlements using stablecoins. This figure is not only substantial, but also indicates that stablecoin adoption is beginning to penetrate real-world transactions.
Support for PYUSD, USDG, and EURC clearly has strategic significance. According to Cuy Sheffield, head of the crypto division at Visa, the GENIUS Act opens up significant opportunities for major players like Amazon or Walmart to issue their own stablecoins. But Visa doesn’t see them as a threat—quite the opposite.
Sheffield believes opportunities are opening up in developing countries like Latin America, Africa, and the Asia Pacific, where the need for a fast and affordable digital financial system is high.
Bridging the Gap Between AI, Stablecoins, and Real-World Finance
On the other hand, CNF reported that at the end of June, Visa also partnered with Crossmint to support on-chain payments for AI agents using tokenized credentials. With its Intelligent Commerce platform, Visa offers an AI-powered automated transaction system that maintains spending limits and fraud protection. Yes, while it may sound like futuristic technology, it’s already in operation.
Furthermore, since the beginning of the year, Visa has also launched a collaboration with X, offering a product called the X Money Account. This account allows users to make instant transactions with a system that prioritizes security and convenience, seemingly aiming to directly compete with traditional banks.
Even more impressively, X Payments LLC—the entity handling the account—has already obtained operating licenses in 49 US states.
However, Visa’s focus isn’t limited to domestic operations. Last May, they partnered with Bridge (now part of Stripe), as well as two other fintech companies, Baanx and Rain. Their main goal? To lower remittance costs and make international transfers more transparent, both in terms of fees and exchange rates, especially in regions with unequal financial systems.
Instead of simply connecting cards to accounts, Visa is now entering a new arena: as a bridge between blockchain, stablecoins, and global users.
