Visa Inc. announced on Tuesday it is set to allow stablecoin-based settlement across its US payments network broadening its suite of crypto-related services. The payments giant will allow US financial institutions to settle transactions using Circle Internet Group Inc.’s USDC stablecoin over the Solana blockchain. Faster Settlement for U.S. Banks? By allowing USDC settlement, Visa said it is offering banks and fintechs faster funds movement over blockchain networks, seven-day availability, and improved resilience during weekends and holidays. Initial participants include Cross River Bank and Lead Bank, both of which are settling transactions with Visa in USDC over the Solana blockchain. Visa said broader availability for U.S. institutions is planned through 2026. Blockchain Infrastructure and Arc Partnership Visa said it is also deepening its collaboration with Circle by serving as a design partner for Arc, a new Layer 1 blockchain currently in public testnet. Arc is being built to support high-performance, large-scale commercial activity onchain. Visa plans to use Arc for USDC settlement within its network and intends to operate a validator node once the blockchain goes live, further integrating blockchain infrastructure into its core settlement processes. Modernizing Treasury and Liquidity Management According to Visa, U.S. stablecoin settlement allow seven-day settlement windows, improved liquidity management, and greater automation for participating banks. The framework is designed to bridge traditional payment rails with blockchain-based infrastructure while maintaining Visa’s standards for security, compliance, and reliability. “Financial institutions are preparing to use stablecoins as part of their treasury operations,” said Rubail Birwadker, Visa’s Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships. “USDC settlement gives banks a faster, programmable option that integrates with existing systems.” Building on a Global Stablecoin Track Record This latest U.S. launch builds on Visa’s earlier stablecoin settlement pilots across Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. Visa began experimenting with USDC settlement in 2021 and became one of the first major payment networks to settle transactions in a stablecoin in 2023. Circle said the U.S. expansion represents a milestone for institutional adoption of stablecoins, while early banking partners highlighted benefits such as clearer liquidity timing and API-driven settlement. Visa said it will continue to expand its stablecoin capabilities and recently launched a Stablecoins Advisory Practice through Visa Consulting & Analytics to help financial institutions assess and implement stablecoin strategies. @Visa launches a stablecoin advisory service to help banks and fintechs navigate regulation and adoption as the market tops $300B. #Stablecoins #DigitalPayments https://t.co/9APTexHQ0X — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) December 15, 2025 Binance Blockchain Week Highlights Stablecoin Momentum Speaking at Binance Blockchain Week 2025, Binance CEO Richard Teng focused heavily on the rapid expansion of the stablecoin market, describing stablecoins as one of crypto’s most effective real-world use cases. He said global stablecoin market capitalisation climbed by nearly 50% this year, while the number of wallets holding stablecoins has also risen by around 50%. Teng highlighted transaction data as evidence that stablecoins are moving firmly into the financial mainstream. He noted that daily stablecoin transaction volumes have now surpassed those processed by Visa. Teng also attributed this growth to improving regulatory clarity, including recent progress in the US, and pointed to emerging-market initiatives such as Bhutan’s nationwide crypto payments system built on Binance Pay as examples of how stablecoins are increasingly being used as core payment infrastructure rather than speculative instruments.
