Visa is partnering with BVNK to expand stablecoin payments across its global network, marking another step toward real-world crypto adoption. The collaboration allows merchants to accept stablecoins and settle transactions more efficiently, especially for cross-border payments where fees and delays are common. For $V, this isn’t about replacing cards but strengthening its role as the underlying payments infrastructure, whether transactions happen in fiat or digital dollars. Stablecoins can move faster, settle 24/7, and reduce reliance on traditional banking rails. As more businesses look for cheaper and quicker ways to move money globally, Visa wants to be the bridge rather than the bypass. The bigger picture is traditional finance quietly integrating blockchain where it makes sense, without the hype. Stablecoins are emerging as the most practical crypto use case so far, and partnerships like this show that incumbents are adapting instead of resisting.
