Visa said it is investing across the stablecoin stack, highlighting OpenUSD, tokenized deposits and AI-powered commerce during the company’s third-quarter earnings call.
Visa reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of $11.6 billion, up 14% from a year earlier, driven by double-digit growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions.
During the company’s earnings call, Visa outlined its broader stablecoin strategy, saying it has been investing across multiple layers of the stablecoin ecosystem. The company said:
Visa added that it had joined the OpenStandard consortium, which plans to issue the OpenUSD stablecoin for global money movement. The company said the Visa stablecoin platform is designed to enable partners to settle with Visa in stablecoins, provide onchain wallet-as-a-service infrastructure and move money between fiat currencies and stablecoins, beginning with OpenUSD.
The platform will also integrate with Pismo to support tokenized deposits for financial institutions, with plans to add third-party tokenized deposit infrastructure providers in the future.
The company also pointed to artificial intelligence as another long-term growth area, describing stablecoins and AI as complementary technologies.
Cross-border volume increased 13% year-on-year, or 12% excluding intra-Europe, while processed transactions rose 10%, according to the company’s earnings release.
