Visa is expanding its support for additional cryptocurrencies and blockchains as it continues its journey into digital assets.

The world’s second-largest card payment company announced in a press release that it is expanding its support for two blockchains, two additional USD-backed stablecoins, and the EURC, which is backed by the euro. Paxos and the company have partnered, adding the Global Dollar (USDG) and PayPal USD (PYUSD) as two more stablecoins to the company’s portfolio.

The new additions include Stellar, Avalanche, which already support the Ethereum and Solana blockchains. Additionally, the addition of Circle’s stablecoin, EURC, broadens the range of stablecoins. “To help meet the needs of our partners worldwide, Visa is constructing a multi-coin and multi-chain foundation,” stated Rubail Birwadker, Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships. We think stablecoins are scalable when they are trusted.

Prominent US banks have openly expressed their thoughts about investigating or integrating stablecoins into their regular business operations, including JPMorgan, Citi, and Goldman Sachs. After years of practical trials and collaborations, the company’s network has now integrated four stablecoins and four blockchains. One noteworthy example is their partnership with Bridge, a division of Stripe, earlier this year, which allows Visa cards linked to stablecoins to be used at any Latin American merchant that takes them.

Bridge essentially imitates normal transactions by taking out the required funds and converting them to local fiat. Stablecoins are undoubtedly a mainstay among cryptocurrency-adopting institutions; their market capitalization has doubled since the beginning of the year and is currently over $265 billion.

Ninety percent of businesses have tested or used stablecoins in 2025, mainly to reduce cross-border, according to the Ivy Analytics platform.
