Visa processes 9.5% more stablecoin transactions in Q2 2025 as adoption grows

Visa continues to accelerate its integration of stablecoins into the global payment ecosystem, further demonstrating the potential of digital assets to support scalable and efficient financial infrastructure. The company has now settled over $225 million in stablecoin volume to date, showcasing the growing viability of stablecoins as a practical payment method [1]. In Q2 2025, Visa processed more than $200 million in stablecoin transactions, a trend fueled by clearer regulatory frameworks and increasing market adoption [3].

To expand its reach, Visa has added support for new stablecoins, including PayPal's $PYUSD and Global Dollar ($GUSD), as well as USDG [4]. The company is also extending its blockchain compatibility by integrating these stablecoins across new digital assets and blockchains [2]. These additions highlight Visa’s strategic move to enhance the scalability and interoperability of blockchain-based payments.

Visa’s focus on stablecoin-based remittances is particularly notable, as it has the potential to improve financial inclusion in underserved regions [1]. The expansion of its programmable payment tools and broader stablecoin settlement capabilities reflect Visa’s ongoing effort to position itself at the forefront of digital finance innovation [3].

Visa no longer adapts to the evolving landscape; it takes command. In response to growing institutional pressure and shifting market dynamics, the company has strengthened its offering by forming a strategic partnership with Tangem and integrating new blockchains, including Stellar and Avalanche, into its settlement infrastructure [2]. These moves come as Mastercard tokenizes nearly 30% of its transactions and forms partnerships with crypto firms, while retail giants like Walmart and Amazon explore blockchain for cross-border payments [3].

The broader crypto industry is also witnessing a pivotal moment with the introduction of the first regulatory framework for stablecoins, marking a new phase of institutional adoption and market legitimacy [5]. This development aligns with Visa’s strategy, as more clarity and confidence emerge in the space.

Visa’s latest advancements come as financial institutions globally are exploring tokenized deposits and blockchain-based settlement systems, indicating a broader shift toward digital asset integration in traditional finance [6]. By strengthening its on-chain payment network and supporting multiple stablecoins across different blockchains, Visa is reinforcing its role as a key player in shaping the future of digital payments.
