Visa Inc. has launched Intelligent Commerce Connect, a new solution designed to enable businesses to participate in AI-driven commerce by supporting transactions initiated by AI agents.

Visa joins Canton Network to enable privacy-focused blockchain payments

March 25, 2026 — Visa announced it will become a Super Validator on the Canton Network, marking its entry into a privacy-focused blockchain ecosystem designed for regulated financial institutions.

As one of 40 Super Validators, Visa will help operate and secure the network, supporting banks and enterprises in deploying blockchain-based payment, settlement, and treasury applications while maintaining strict privacy and compliance standards.

Visa said its role will bring “Visa-grade” governance and reliability to the platform, helping financial institutions scale onchain operations without changing existing risk and compliance frameworks.

The move builds on Visa’s broader digital asset strategy, which includes stablecoin settlement volumes of $4.6 billion annually and more than 130 stablecoin-linked card programs globally.

Visa said the partnership will help bridge capital markets and payments on blockchain infrastructure, accelerating real-world adoption of digital assets.
