Visa has announced a partnership with BVNK to integrate stablecoin functionality into its Visa Direct real-time payment network. This collaboration will enable businesses in select markets to pre-fund payments using stablecoins and distribute funds directly to recipients' digital wallets. BVNK, which processes over $30 billion in stablecoin payments annually, will provide the necessary infrastructure for these transactions. Visa's venture capital arm invested in BVNK in May 2025, followed by a strategic investment from Citigroup.
