Visa integrates settlement data with blockchain lending infrastructure
Visa combined on-chain settlement data with blockchain lending infrastructure. Stablecoin card programmes and fintechs can now access working capital using Visa transaction history as collateral proxy.
WHY IT MATTERS
Bridges legacy payment data (Visa) with crypto-native lending (on-chain collateral). Reduces friction for stablecoin issuers and fintechs to raise working capital. Signals Visa's shift from payment-rail monopoly to fintech infrastructure layer.
