Visa Launches Pre-Funding Pilot for Stablecoin Payments

Visa has launched a pre-funding pilot using stablecoins on its Visa Direct platform.
This initiative allows businesses to transfer funds across borders without needing large fiat reserves.
The goal is to reduce transaction friction, provide faster liquidity access, and offer financial institutions more flexibility in global payouts.
Businesses can pre-fund their accounts with stablecoins, which Visa treats as equivalent to fiat money.
Visa is expanding its stablecoin capabilities, similar to other traditional financial firms, to capitalize on growing interest.
Increased regulatory frameworks for stablecoins are being established by major jurisdictions.
