On September 30, 2025, Visa announced the launch of a Stablecoin pre-funding pilot program through its Visa Direct platform. The initiative aims to leverage the efficiency of stablecoins and the regulatory clarity provided by the Genius Act to accelerate cross-border payments, enhance capital liquidity, and modernize treasury management. By integrating stablecoin technology into its global payment network without disrupting existing financial infrastructure, Visa addresses the pain points of traditional cross-border systems and solidifies its market position.
