Paul

- Visa integrates PayPal’s PYUSD, Paxos USDG, and Circle’s EURC into its settlement platform.
- Stellar and Avalanche blockchains join Ethereum and Solana as part of Visa's infrastructure.
On July 31, 2025, The Block, Business Wire, and Coinlive reported that Visa expanded its stablecoin settlement platform. The global payments company added support for three new stablecoins: PayPal’s PYUSD, the Paxos-issued Global Dollar (USDG), and Circle’s euro-backed EURC. In addition, Visa incorporated two more blockchain networks, Stellar and Avalanche, into its infrastructure, which already supports Ethereum and Solana.
With this latest expansion, Visa's settlement infrastructure now accommodates four stablecoins across four distinct blockchain networks. This development broadens the company’s capabilities for handling global payments and cross-border transactions, which are critical functions as stablecoins gain relevance in the financial and cryptocurrency sectors.
The inclusion of EURC allows select Visa pilot partners to settle transactions using euro-backed stablecoins in addition to U.S. dollar-pegged assets. On July 31, Rubail Birwadker, Visa's Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships, stated in an announcement, “We believe that when stablecoins are trusted, scalable, and interoperable, they can fundamentally transform how money moves around the world.”
Visa’s multi-coin, multi-chain strategy addresses the industry's growing reliance on stablecoins for fast settlements and efficient cross-border transfers. By adding new assets and blockchains, the company aims to meet the evolving needs of its international partners.
