Visa is already using stablecoins. Why? The old system takes days and costs merchants billions. Stablecoins move money instantly, anywhere in the world.

If you want to catch @KyleReidhead on the @IFB_podcast They dive into $BTC, $ETH, and why stablecoins are the real unlock. Spotify: Apple: The full YT episode is here:

Visa embracing stablecoins is a game changer for global payments.

instant settlement unlocks programmable payments for small businesses risk and governance will matter at scale

Real rails are being built right now

Settlement rails are changing

legacy finance co-opts crypto

Don’t hate the newbie…but presumably this increases the value of stable coins if/when more companies like Visa deploy it?

merchants don’t care about blockchain, they care about settlement speed and margin

Merchants bout to ditch SWIFT forever

Next stop CBDCs

First the rails then the logic layer, that’s when it gets wild
