- Visa adds USDG and PYUSD, expanding its stablecoin settlement options via a Paxos partnership.
- Stellar and Avalanche support boosts Visa’s multi-chain interoperability.
- EURC integration enables settlement in both USD and EUR stablecoins.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 31, 2025, Visa has taken another step in its journey related to digital currency innovation by expanding its stablecoin settlement platform to further support the entry of mainstream digital currencies into the marketplace.
The global payments leader is now able to help more stablecoins and blockchains, as well as more currencies. The upgrade brings about the addition of two USD-pegged stablecoins, the Stellar and Avalanche chain support, and the incorporation of a Euro-based digital asset.
Visa Adds More Stablecoin Options Globally
Visa, in an effort to address the opportunities of digital money, has announced that it will enable the support aspect of Global Dollar (USDG) and PayPal USD (PYUSD) under a strategic partnership with Paxos. They are both dollar-backed stablecoin instruments aimed at offering a secure and convenient opportunity to conduct digital transactions. The additions are meant to enhance Visa’s capacity to facilitate settlement transactions between issuers and acquirers.

In a statement, Rubail Birwadker, the Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships at Visa, outlined the company’s direction. He added that trusted, scalable, interoperable, and stablecoins can turn the world upside down when it comes to the global movement of money.
Four stablecoins denominated in USD (USDC, USDT, USDG, and PYUSD) are now supported on Visa’s platform. This wider base gives financial partners and fintech companies greater freedom when making cross-border and on-chain payments.
Visa Introduces Two New Blockchains
Visa has incorporated the backing of Stellar and Avalanche to enhance interoperability. The two combine with the already available support bases in Ethereum and Solana to make a four-chain ecosystem. Visa now offers a multi-chain platform where its partners located anywhere on the globe are met, thus increasing transaction speeds and removing cross-network friction.
Being blockchain-agnostic and being technologically flexible, Visa plans to use several blockchains. Stellar and Avalanche are also added as the use of alternative chains becomes increasingly a part of real-life payment solutions.
Visa scales digital payments with a multi-chain approach. Because new blockchain solutions are just emerging, the company will test and implement only those that are proving to be valuable.
Euro-Backed EURC Joins Visa Network
Visa has also taken another essential leap, having incorporated Circle’s euro-backed stablecoin (EURC) into its treasury and settlement environment. This addition will allow the participating selected pilots to make transactions in both USD and EUR-backed stablecoins.
The EURC integration extends Visa’s already established services, as over 25 fiat currencies are currently supported in the global market. In addition, it indicates increasing demand in global trade and remittance corridors for crypto-equivalent digital euros.
In January, Visa strengthened its ties with card issuers connected to stablecoins. These cards, which are blockchain-based wallets, require substantial settlement options on numerous networks. Visa has enabled that through its platform, which now directly accepts various stablecoins as settlement.
Visa Focuses on a Scalable Future
Visa is investing in infrastructure that will accommodate both conventional and blockchain payments. The company’s mission is to enable digital transactions in the same way as traditional payments and make them reliable, secure, and accessible.
The promotion of the use of stablecoins and blockchain offered by Visa is setting the stage for an additional leap in money transfer across the globe. As the stablecoin ecosystem is growing, Visa aims to remain a reliable bridge between financial institutions, stores, developers, and wallet holders in all countries.
