Visa Launches Stablecoin Infrastructure for Financial Institutions
Financial institutions can now mint, move, and manage stablecoins through a new centralized platform from Visa. The system, designed to bridge the gap between digital asset interest and functional payment infrastructure, debuts with support for Open USD, a stablecoin developed by Open Standard.
The platform integrates security protocols such as dual-control approvals, audit logs, and passkeys to manage transfers. Clients retain the flexibility to link existing bank accounts or utilize a Visa-managed wallet stack, ensuring compatibility with the company's broader suite of settlement tools and stablecoin-linked card programs. This development marks a significant push by the global payments giant to standardize how financial entities interact with stablecoins within their existing ecosystems.
