Visa and Bridge Integrate Stablecoins into a 150M+ Merchant Network: A New Era for Payment Solutions

Visa and Bridge Integrate Stablecoins into a 150M+ Merchant Network: A New Era for Payment Solutions

In a major step towards mainstream crypto adoption, Visa has partnered with stablecoin infrastructure provider Bridge to launch payment cards linked to stablecoins across multiple Latin American countries.

This collaboration aims to seamlessly connect digital assets with traditional commerce, allowing users to make everyday purchases using stablecoins at over 150 million Visa-accepting merchant locations worldwide.

How It Works

Cardholders will be able to make everyday purchases from their stablecoin balance. Bridge automatically deducts the necessary amount and converts the stablecoin into local fiat currency, enabling merchants to receive payments just like any other Visa transaction.

These cards can also be added to supported digital wallets, allowing customers to pay effortlessly at any of Visa’s extensive merchant locations.

Developer-Friendly Infrastructure

The Visa-Bridge initiative is designed not only for consumers but also for fintech developers. A single API provided by Bridge allows developers to integrate stablecoin-linked Visa card functionality into their platforms across Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Chile, with expansion plans for Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Industry experts see this as a significant move towards broader financial inclusion, making crypto-backed payments as familiar and reliable as traditional debit card transactions.

With the stablecoin market expected to grow to $2 trillion by 2028, driven by regulatory clarity and increasing demand for U.S. Treasury-linked instruments, this development is set to reshape how digital assets function within the global financial ecosystem.
