Visa and Bridge Launch Stablecoin-Linked Visa Cards to Power Everyday Transactions

Visa announced a new partnership with Bridge, a stablecoin orchestration platform recently acquired by Stripe. The collaboration introduces a card-issuing product that enables developers to offer stablecoin-linked Visa cards through a single API integration. These cards allow consumers to make everyday purchases from their stablecoin balances at over 150 million merchant locations that accept Visa.

The new product, launching initially in Latin America (Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Chile), allows cardholders to pay in local currency while Bridge handles conversion from stablecoins to fiat. The partnership aims to meet growing demand for stablecoin use in regions facing currency volatility and limited access to traditional banking.

Visa emphasized that this initiative is part of its broader effort to integrate stablecoins into its global payments infrastructure. The rollout will expand to countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia in the coming months.
