Visa and Bridge are taking stablecoin cards to 100 countries.
So far, stablecoin cards issued by Bridge and supported by the Visa network are already operational in 18 countries. The pair announced their collaboration last April, primarily focusing on daily purchases at Visa approved merchants. Now, the plan is to scale this to over 100 countries as stablecoin spending grows among retail and business users.
Bridge CEO and cofounder Zach Abrams expressed:
We’re on a multiyear journey to help businesses own their own financial stack. This expansion of our work with Visa will enable businesses launching their own custom stablecoins to use them seamlessly within their card programs.”
Notably, Visa impressed investors from their latest earnings results on how stablecoins are adding to their existing operational and revenue streams. In Q4 2025, Visa recorded around $4B+ in annualised stablecoin settlement, expecting this to grow substantially in 2026.
Also, an Artemis stablecoin report a couple of weeks ago showcased how Visa leads as the global card and settlement network for stablecoin-linked cards, with over 90% of issuing card partners choosing to align with Visa for physical and virtual stablecoin spending.
