Visa Expands Stablecoin Support Across Four Blockchains Amid Surging Adoption
Visa is deepening its crypto payments infrastructure by adding support for four stablecoins across distinct blockchains. The credit card giant revealed during its Q4 2025 earnings call that card spending tied to stablecoins has quadrupled year-over-year, signaling accelerating institutional adoption of tokenized money.
The company's stablecoin settlement platform now processes conversions between two currencies and over 25 fiat options, reaching a $2.5 billion annualized run rate. CEO Ryan McInerney emphasized this expansion reflects Visa's commitment to bridging traditional finance with blockchain networks, following $140 billion in total crypto flows since 2020.
Notably, $100 billion originated from direct card purchases of digital assets, while $35 billion came from spending via Visa credentials. These metrics demonstrate stablecoins have evolved beyond experimental use cases into Core payment infrastructure.
