US EditionVisa Takes Another Major Step In Stablecoin Payments Strategy - Visa (NYSE:V)
Visa's stablecoin pilot enables U.S. banks to settle using USDC with $3.5 billion annualized volume, improving speed, availability, and operational resilience.
- On Tuesday, Visa Inc. launched USDC settlement in the United States, enabling U.S. issuers and acquirers to settle using Circle's fully reserved, dollar‑denominated stablecoin.
- Visa says the launch advances its effort to modernize the settlement layer for global commerce, framing it as a key milestone in its stablecoin pilot amid financial institutions seeking faster, programmable settlement that fits treasury systems, Rubail Birwadker said.

- Having begun stablecoin settlement in 2023, Visa plans to expand U.S. availability through 2026 as the pilot scales, with a $3.5 billion annualized run rate as of November 30.
