Visa adds Monad to its stablecoin settlement network lineup

Visa has added Monad to its stablecoin settlement network, expanding the lineup of blockchains the payments giant uses to settle transactions in stablecoins. The move deepens Visa's blockchain infrastructure push and gives Monad a high-profile endorsement from a major traditional payments player. It matters because Visa's settlement network is a key bridge between conventional finance and on-chain rails, and each added chain signals which networks the company views as production-ready. Watch for whether Visa discloses settlement volumes on Monad and whether other payment processors follow with similar integrations.
