Visa is accelerating its push into blockchain-based payments, announcing the addition of five new blockchains to its global stablecoin settlement pilot.
The expansion arrives as digital asset adoption transitions from experimental pilot programs into core treasury operations for financial institutions.
According to the company’s announcement, its stablecoin settlement program has surged to an annualized run rate of $7 billion, marking a 50% increase since the previous quarter.
This momentum underscores a growing confidence among traditional fintechs and payment providers that blockchain infrastructure can reliably complement legacy settlement rails.
Visa said the expansion reflects a broader industry shift toward a multi-chain ecosystem, where liquidity and activity are spread across multiple blockchain networks.
This expansion also builds on years of testing and live deployments across regions, including Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and CEMEA.
The company has also expanded support for USDC settlement to U.S. banks and enabled more than 130+ stablecoin-linked card programs across over 50 countries.
