Visa launches stablecoin platform for merchants and banks

Visa has launched a new platform designed to integrate stablecoin services into existing payment and treasury workflows for its network of financial institutions and merchants. This initiative aims to simplify the use of stablecoins, which offer instant, low-cost transactions and a transparent record, by handling the technical complexities for users. The platform will initially support OUSD, a stablecoin from the Open Standard consortium, alongside existing options like Circle's USDC and Paxos' USDG, positioning Visa to capitalize on the growing stablecoin market.
