Right. Payment behemoth Visa—because why hang back and quietly mind your own business when you can wade into the cryptocurrency jungle—has quite casually tossed out an announcement. As of now, it’s supporting, let’s count them, four more shiny stablecoins: Global Dollar (USDG), PayPal USD (PYUSD), Euro Coin (EURC), and attached two new blockchain networks—Stellar and Avalanche, which, tbh, sound more like Harry Potter houses than anything strictly financial.
Basically, this means people can hurl their digital coins around on all these networks or, for those who like a good old-fashioned flex, convert those balances to regular “boring” money. Visa says it’s “making crypto easier,” which is code for “We’d also like a piece of this outrageously complicated pie, please.” 🍰
Visa was already dabbling with Circle’s USDC, anyway, but now you can send vibes (read: various coins) via Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, Avalanche…probably Hogwarts Express next. 🚂
Apparently, everyone’s suddenly obsessed with stablecoins since the U.S. signed that GENIUS stablecoin bill (side-eye to whoever named the bill). Now banks, tech companies, and—wait for it—even giant retailers have woken up, smelled the crypto, and decided they, too, deserve a “slice.” 🥧

Meanwhile, Visa’s getting side-eyed by all the other finance titans. Apparently, being a payment company in 2025 means you need stablecoins to sit with the cool kids. Payment processors even admit that stablecoins are the disruptive, leather-jacket-wearing-motorcycle-riding rebels of the financial world.
Direct-competitor-and-frenemy Mastercard is busy making new friends in crypto, humming about integrating crypto payments, and claims to have “tokenized” 30% of transactions—which sounds mildly medical, but is apparently a good thing?
In June, the rumor mill cranked out the almost-too-much-to-handle news that Walmart and Amazon (aka everyone’s favorite place to accidentally spend $300 on nothing) might launch their own stablecoins. As if we needed more ways to lose money while panic-ordering bedsheets and chia seeds at 2 AM.
Even Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan keeps dropping hints about a possible “Bank of America Coin.” (Abbreviation suggestions on a postcard, please.) He wants the bank “equipped” with stablecoin payment rails, which sounds like he’s preparing for a space mission but could just mean he likes shiny new things.
Latest episode in this never-ending soap: JPMorgan linked up with Coinbase to let customers convert rewards points into USDC. The points-buying-coffee game has truly reached its logical conclusion. ☕✨
To no one’s surprise, Mastercard’s team recently admitted that stablecoins are “directly threatening” the old payment processing model. Disruptive tech is basically the Love Island bombshell of the banking sector—everyone’s shaken but pretending they’re fine.
And because we live in a timeline designed for maximum confusion, Alchemy’s engineering boss Noam Hurwitz told CryptoMoon that on-chain stablecoin volumes are now bigger than Visa and Mastercard combined. On-chain stablecoins: now the “default settlement layer” for the internet—which sounds epic, in a Marvel Universe kind of way. 🦸♀️🌐
