Visa Expands Stablecoin Platform as Stock Ranks 31st in $3.01 Billion Trading Volume

On July 31, 2025, Visa (V) traded with a volume of $3.01 billion, marking a 29.63% decline from the previous day’s activity. The stock closed at a 1.55% loss, ranking 31st in trading volume among equities.

Visa announced the expansion of its stablecoin settlement platform to support two additional U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins—Global Dollar (USDG) and PayPal USD (PYUSD)—via a partnership with Paxos. The move also includes the integration of Circle’s euro-backed EURC stablecoin, enabling cross-currency settlements for partners. These additions follow Visa’s existing support for Ethereum and Solana, with new blockchain integrations now covering Stellar and Avalanche.

By broadening its multi-chain and multi-coin infrastructure, Visa aims to address growing demand for interoperable stablecoin transactions. The company emphasized its focus on reducing friction for developers and wallets while accelerating cross-border and on-chain payments. Rubail Birwadker, Visa’s Global Head of Growth Products, stated that trusted, scalable stablecoins could "fundamentally transform how money moves globally."

Visa’s updated platform now supports four stablecoins (including USDC) across four distinct blockchains. This expansion aligns with the rising adoption of stablecoins among fintechs, banks, and payment providers seeking faster transaction solutions. The company has been an early adopter in this space, having explored USDC settlements since 2020 and launching a tokenization platform for institutions in recent years.

A strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming a 29.18% benchmark. The approach capitalized on liquidity-driven momentum, as seen in stocks with significant volume spikes. While the strategy highlights the role of liquidity concentration in short-term gains, its effectiveness depends on evolving market dynamics and structure.
