At the Lisbon Web Summit on Wednesday, Visa (V) unveiled a breakthrough pilot allowing businesses and platforms to send payouts directly to recipients’ stablecoin wallets.
For businesses using Visa Direct, payouts can be funded in fiat currency, while recipients can choose to receive their funds in USD-backed stablecoins like USDC.
Expanding access: The pilot launches with select partners. Broader rollout would be planned for the second half of 2026 as client demand grows and regulatory frameworks advance.
