TREE NEWS update: Visa is integrating blockchain-based lending with its VisaNet settlement data as stablecoin payment volume on its network surges nearly 200% year over year. The move brings onchain credit to its growing stablecoin card business, combining traditional payments infrastructure with decentralized finance.
Visa adds onchain credit to stablecoin card business
Visa's move signals that mainstream payment rails are starting to absorb decentralized credit mechanisms, not just stablecoin settlement. The near-200% volume growth shows stablecoin cards have moved from niche to scale, making credit the logical next layer. The key tension is whether onchain lending can meet Visa's compliance and risk standards without losing its decentralized edge. Watch whether this pushes other card networks to follow, and how regulators treat credit that bypasses traditional underwriting.
