支付巨头Visa推出企业级稳定币服务平台

Odaily Odaily Planet Daily reports that global payment giant Visa is accelerating its stablecoin infrastructure efforts with the launch of the Visa Stablecoin Platform, designed to help banks and fintech companies integrate stablecoin payment capabilities into their existing payment and treasury management systems. According to reports, the platform aims to provide stablecoin service support to Visa’s approximately 15,000 financial institutions and over 200 million merchants globally, enabling enterprises to use dollar-pegged stablecoins for settlement, fund transfers, and financial management within the traditional payment network.

Visa currently processes approximately $15 trillion in payment transactions annually and has handled tens of billions of dollars in stablecoin settlement volume. The company hopes to further expand the application scope of stablecoins through this new platform. The Visa Stablecoin Platform will initially support the new stablecoin OUSD, launched by the Open Standard alliance, while continuing to be compatible with stablecoins already supported by Visa, including Circle’s USDC and Paxos’ USDG. Visa believes that stablecoins are becoming an important component of future financial infrastructure, with advantages including:

Instant settlement: transactions do not need to rely on traditional bank clearing cycles;

Low-cost transfers: blockchain-based networks reduce payment costs;

Transparency and traceability: on-chain transaction records provide higher verifiability.

Visa has previously made continuous strides in the stablecoin space. In 2020, Visa became the first global payment network to support USDC settlement; in 2025, the company launched a stablecoin settlement plan to further drive stablecoins into the mainstream payment system.

Meanwhile, Visa competitors are also accelerating their entry into the stablecoin market. Mastercard recently launched a stablecoin settlement solution and is collaborating with companies such as MoonPay and Paxos; American Express is also participating in the development of the Open Standard ecosystem.

As traditional payment giants increasingly adopt stablecoins, they are evolving from a payment tool within the crypto industry into a crucial component of the global financial infrastructure. (Fortune)
