What changed

In an October 1, 2026 announcement, Visa said it supported more than 160 stablecoin-linked card programs. It reported that approximately 17% of their fiscal-year-to-date volume came from business and commercial programs. These are Visa’s reported figures, not a measure of all crypto payments.

Why it matters

A supported card can bridge digital assets and merchants accepting conventional cards. That does not mean the shop receives cryptocurrency directly. The issuer and payment partners determine which assets are supported, how conversion works and which countries or residents can apply.

Before you act

Compare card fees, conversion spreads, foreign-exchange charges and refund terms. Check who holds the funds before purchase and what happens when a payment is reversed. Merchant acceptance is different from eligibility to obtain the card. A global network does not make every card available everywhere.
