Visa Launches Platform for Stablecoins; Predicts They Will Power Agentic Micro-Commerce

Subscribe to our newsletter

Visa has launched the Visa Stablecoin Platform, an enterprise initiative that will bring stablecoin services to more than 200 million Visa-affiliated merchants. The platform, which is currently available to select beta users, initially supports Circle’s USDC and Paxos’ USDG stablecoins. In the future it will also work with the planned Open USD stablecoin from the Open Standard consortia, of which Visa is a leading founding member.

Separately, in conjunction with analytics firm Artemis, Visa has released a report which predicts that stablecoins will power micro-commerce in the emerging agentic economy. Micro commerce relates to low-value transactions that take place autonomously between AI agents and software applications without any direct human instigation.
