Visa Adds USDC in Blockchain Expansion

• Integrating Circle's USDC into its stablecoin settlement platform.
• Adding the Solana network alongside Ethereum for broader reach.

On August 1, 2025, Visa announced a significant expansion of its stablecoin settlement capabilities. The company now supports settlements in Circle's USDC on the Solana blockchain. This new network joins Ethereum, where Visa began piloting USDC in 2021, reflecting the company’s commitment to embracing digital currencies.

Alongside the expansion, Visa also integrated the Solana network into its platform. This network joins Ethereum, expanding Visa’s blockchain support to two major networks. This development provides Visa’s partners with greater flexibility in leveraging stablecoins for cross-border payments. It also showcases Visa’s ambition to streamline global transactions with cutting-edge technology.

Visa’s expanded multi-coin, multi-chain infrastructure solidifies its position as a leader in digital payments. By enabling settlement in dollar-backed stablecoins, Visa addresses the increasing demand for interoperable and adaptive payment solutions from businesses and financial institutions.

This announcement aligns with growing regulatory clarity for stablecoins in the United States. The Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act of 2025, which has not been enacted into law, offers a robust framework for regulating stablecoin issuances. This framework would cement their role in modern finance. Analysts expect the stablecoin market to soar, with valuations potentially surpassing $2 trillion in the near future.
