Global payment giant Visa has announced plans to support four stablecoins on four unique blockchains in line with its goal to accelerate crypto services.
During the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO Ryan McInerney said: “We are adding support for four stablecoins, running on four unique blockchains, representing two currencies, that we can accept and convert to over 25 traditional fiat currencies.”
However, McInerney did not reveal any details on the stablecoins and the blockchain networks the company will support.
Visa ramps up stabelcoin game
Stabelcoins are seeing increased growth potential as several fintech institutions and banks are adopting them for cross-border transactions and other use cases. Visa’s stablecoin announcement came at this peak time, creating curiosity among enthusiasts.
As the Visa executive points out, since 2020, $140 billion worth of crypto and stablecoin flows have been facilitated, and Visa has played a significant role in this real game.
The payment giant has been receiving, holding, and settling transactions using stablecoins such as Circle’s USDC, PayPal’s PYUSD, Euro Coin or EURC, and Global Dollar or USDG on several blockchain networks.
Adding to its growth comes Visa’s stablecoin card ecosystem, which has gained a fourfold year-over-year increase in global consumer spending in Q4
Visa’s crypto payment is not a novel concept
Visa’s stablecoin initiative is not a new effort in town. In July 2025, the firm expanded its stablecoin initiatives in the Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (CEMEA) region.
Notably, the payment platform ventured into a pilot project in September to test stablecoins for overseas transfer. The project that is currently in the pilot stage will allow businesses to settle transactions via Visa Direct, a real-time payments network on Visa.
