Visa launches Stablecoins Advisory Practice to help businesses adopt stablecoins

Published at 2025-12-15 14:16:22

Visa announced the launch of a Stablecoins Advisory Practice aimed at helping merchants, fintechs and issuers adopt and operationalize stablecoins. The practice will counsel clients on technical integration with payment rails, compliance and risk frameworks, and tokenization use cases — positioning Visa as a bridge between traditional payments infrastructure and crypto-native rails.

The move signals growing institutional support for stablecoins and could accelerate corporate experimentation with tokenized payments and treasury flows. By offering advisory services rather than issuing a token itself, Visa is focusing on enabling partners to navigate regulatory and operational hurdles, which may lower barriers for broader enterprise adoption and foster tighter collaboration between incumbent finance and crypto firms.
