Visa expands stablecoin payments network, enabling corporate prefunding and cross-border payouts
Visa has expanded stablecoin prefunding and payout functions on Visa Direct through a partnership with crypto infrastructure provider Zerohash. Eligible Visa Direct customers can preload balances in stablecoins and use them to process cross-border payments. The added feature lets businesses manage liquidity without being tied to bank operating hours, while recipients can be paid directly in stablecoins instead of local currency. Zerohash said the capability is delivered through its infrastructure within the Visa Direct network.
