According to PANews, Visa has announced a partnership with stablecoin payment infrastructure company BVNK to integrate stablecoin functionalities into its Visa Direct real-time payment network. This collaboration will enable businesses in specific markets to pre-fund payments using stablecoins and directly disburse funds to recipients' digital wallets. BVNK will provide the underlying infrastructure to process and settle these stablecoin transactions, with the company currently handling over $30 billion in stablecoin payments annually. Visa made an investment in BVNK through its venture capital arm in May 2025, followed by a strategic investment from Citigroup.
