Visa has added Monad as a settlement option for participating stablecoin issuers and acquirers, expanding its growing multi-chain payments network. The move puts Monad alongside networks including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche and Base.

  • Visa reported a $20 billion annualized stablecoin settlement run rate as of September 2026, up more than 15x year over year.
  • More than 225 stablecoin-linked card programs are live globally, according to Visa.
  • Monad’s institutional privacy feature, Private Settlement, is planned for the coming months; auditors and regulators will be able to access details when needed.

This is meaningful distribution for Monad: Visa is connecting blockchain settlement to real payment flows, not just crypto-native activity. Watch for usage data and liquidity migration before pricing in a token catalyst; the privacy launch is the next milestone.
