Visa Plans to Launch Service for Cross-Border Payments in Stablecoins

Visa announced that the service will be focused on partners using stablecoins USDC and EURC. Specifically, companies will be able to top up their Visa Direct balances with these tokens, avoiding additional blocking of funds in fiat currency. On the recipient’s side, stablecoins will be converted into local currency.

According to Visa, the ability to pay for goods and services across borders using stablecoins may be in demand among small businesses and freelancers, as it simplifies transfers and can protect their savings from inflation.

The pilot launch of the Visa Direct service for cross-border payments, with limited access for partners, is planned for the first half of 2026.

Earlier, Visa CEO Ryan McInerney stated that over the past few years, the company has processed stablecoin transactions totaling more than $200 million.
