Visa Expands Stablecoin Settlements with Paxos USDG and PYUSD

Visa has expanded its stablecoin settlement platform to include Paxos-issued USDG and PYUSD, marking another step in its broader integration of digital assets into its financial infrastructure [1]. The move, announced on August 1, 2025, enables the use of these stablecoins for transaction settlements between merchants and partners [2]. The USDG stablecoin, launched in Europe under updated regulatory frameworks, joins Visa’s existing stablecoin lineup, which includes USDC and EURC [3]. This development underscores the growing role of stablecoins in facilitating cross-border payments and financial transactions.

The integration with Paxos allows financial institutions and merchants to settle transactions using USDG and PYUSD directly on Visa’s platform [4]. Alongside the stablecoins, Visa has also added two new blockchain networks—Avalanche and Stellar—to its system. This enhances the speed and scalability of transactions across multiple chains [5]. The inclusion of Avalanche, in particular, supports Visa’s ability to leverage one of the fastest-growing blockchain platforms for stablecoin settlements [6].

This expansion aligns with Visa’s ongoing strategy to innovate in the global payments space by leveraging blockchain technology. The company is now supporting both USD- and euro-backed stablecoins, broadening its ability to serve diverse markets [7]. The integration of multiple stablecoins and blockchain networks reflects Visa’s goal of building a more flexible and efficient cross-border payment system [8].

The move is part of a wider trend among traditional financial institutions to adopt stablecoins for faster, lower-cost settlements. As regulatory clarity improves, stablecoins are becoming an increasingly important part of the global financial ecosystem [10]. Visa’s latest enhancements reinforce its position as a leader in payments innovation and demonstrate its commitment to adapting to the evolving digital finance landscape.
