Stablecoins Move Deeper Into Global Payments
-

The Visa–BVNK partnership reflects the growing role of stablecoins in global finance, with the market reaching roughly $280 billion in capitalization and trillions of dollars in annual transaction volume. Active stablecoin wallets have surged, underscoring rising adoption for cross-border payments, remittances, and trading.
At the same time, regulators are paying closer attention. Policymakers in the US, UK, and EU are debating frameworks such as the CLARITY Act and MiCA to balance innovation with financial stability. BVNK says its stablecoin payouts are restricted to compliant wallets and designed to align with evolving regulatory standards, highlighting how stablecoins are increasingly being woven into regulated payment infrastructure rather than operating at its edges.
