Visa is expanding stablecoin functionality on Visa Direct through a collaboration with onchain infrastructure provider zerohash. Eligible clients will prefund merchant accounts and send payouts using stablecoins, with zerohash supplying technology and regulatory support.

Visa Direct connects to more than 18 billion endpoints across 195+ countries. The integration targets 24/7 cross-border liquidity and settlement. Builds on Visa’s broader stablecoin strategy including settlement on Base and Polygon and the open USD consortium with Stripe, Coinbase, and BlackRock.
