Visa Expands Stablecoin Support to Four Coins and Adds Avalanche Stellar Blockchains

Visa is expanding its digital asset settlement platform to support a wider range of stablecoins and blockchain networks, aiming to enhance the efficiency and flexibility of global transactions. The company now supports three additional stablecoins—PayPal USD (PYUSD), USDG, and EURC—alongside the inclusion of two new blockchain networks: Avalanche and Stellar. This brings the total stablecoin support to four across four different blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana [1].

The integration of EURC, a euro-backed stablecoin issued by Circle, marks a significant development in diversifying settlement options beyond the US dollar. The inclusion of multiple reserve-backed stablecoins, such as PYUSD and USDG, is designed to provide partners with greater liquidity and stability, particularly in cross-border transactions. Visa has partnered with Paxos to facilitate the onboarding of these tokens, further ensuring compliance and transparency [2].

Rubail Birwadker, Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships at Visa, emphasized that the company is “building a multi-coin and multi-chain foundation to help meet the needs of our partners worldwide.” The initiative reflects Visa’s broader strategy to adapt its infrastructure to the evolving digital finance landscape, ensuring interoperability and scalability across global payment systems [3].

By expanding its blockchain support to include high-throughput platforms like Avalanche and Stellar, Visa is demonstrating its willingness to leverage emerging technologies that offer faster processing speeds and lower transaction costs. This move is expected to streamline settlement processes and reduce operational friction for financial institutions and partners [4].

The enhancement of Visa’s platform underscores the growing role of stablecoins in mainstream financial infrastructure. With stablecoins now facilitating settlements in over 25 fiat currencies, their integration into traditional systems is accelerating. Visa’s updated platform not only broadens its technical capabilities but also responds to increasing demand for more efficient and flexible settlement solutions [5].
