Visa Flags Modest Stablecoin Uptake, Calls for Clear US Regulation
Visa reported $10.17 billion in revenue for Q2 2025, up 14% year-over-year, but noted that stablecoin settlements reached only $200 million. CEO Ryan McInerney highlighted the necessity for clearer regulatory frameworks, stating that while stablecoins present potential for growth, adoption remains limited. Visa is investing in stablecoin infrastructure and has engaged in initiatives like partnering with Bridge in Latin America and testing stablecoin through Visa Direct for cross-border transfers. Despite the current modest volume in stablecoin transactions—estimated at $20-30 billion daily—Visa remains optimistic about future growth as regulatory clarity improves. Meanwhile, the introduction of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. aims to provide more defined regulations for cryptocurrency, which could further benefit adoption of stablecoins in payment systems.
