Stablecoins are moving from idea to infrastructure—powering real settlement. Visa has hit a $7B annualized run rate, 50% QoQ. We have expanded our global stablecoin settlement program to @Arc, @Base, @CantonNetwork, @0xPolygon and @Tempo, bringing us to nine chains. Stablecoins are multi‑chain. Settlement has to be seamless across it.

The look and feel of money has modernized—now we are building with blockchains to upgrade the infrastructure behind it.

Running our own validator @Visa lets us apply our blockchain expertise to ensure onchain and stablecoin payments operate securely and at scale.

Validator nodes verify transactions, prevent fraud and keep networks resilient. For systems that move value—not just data—who runs that infrastructure matters.

At global scale, trust in money starts with the infrastructure that moves it. That’s why Visa is now live as an anchor validator on the @tempo network. 🧵

That’s why agentic commerce is a generative growth opportunity—and why trusted payments infrastructure matters more than ever. Read more: 👉 corporate.visa.com/en/sites/…

5) Expanded economic activity. Productivity gains tend to drive overall economic growth—and when economies grow, commerce grows.

4) New transaction flows. Continuous, machine‑to‑machine payments enable business models that weren’t practical before.

3) Faster digitization, especially in B2B. Invoices, approvals, reconciliation—agents can automate the friction out of business payments.

2) Higher transaction density. More frequent, smaller payment moments—accelerated by agents and micro‑transactions.

1) Less friction. Agents optimize transactions in real time. When success rates rise, payment volumes rise.

Why? Because agentic systems change the mechanics of commerce. Here are 5 ways this plays out 👇

Agentic commerce will generate significant new growth. We have seen it with every major tech wave—ecommerce, mobile, cloud. This one is no different. It’s not zero‑sum. 🧵

With Visa’s participation, the industry can unlock new efficiencies without sacrificing resilience, security or reliability. Developers can access the documentation here: mpp.dev/payment-methods/card

Enter @Visa’s new card spec for Machine Payments Protocol (MPP)—an open standard from @tempo and @stripe—bringing card‑based payments into autonomous, machine‑to‑machine flows. Combined with enablers like @BasisTheory and @getVGS, developers can securely tokenize and orchestrate credentials while transacting on global card rails. Open by design. No single rail. Global reach.

The infrastructure for agentic commerce is being built right now. The decisions we make about credentials, reach and standards will define how agents transact for years to come. 🧵

Autonomous agentic experiences are starting to emerge but today’s web infrastructure lacks the guardrails for autonomous AI agents. Leveraging Visa Intelligent Commerce and Trusted Agent Protocol, lobster.cash introduces an open payment standard for OpenClaw agents, keeping humans in the loop while enabling agentic commerce to scale.

One misconception about agentic commerce is that it makes digital shopping interfaces obsolete. In reality, as AI coding accelerates, we’re entering a new golden age of product discovery—richer, smarter experiences alongside agent‑driven simplicity.

The internet scaled through open, interoperable standards. Stablecoins need the same foundation so developers everywhere can build on shared infrastructure and accelerate adoption.

Stablecoins can make the global economy dramatically more efficient. As regulation advances, we are scaling stablecoin settlement with partners, focused on built-in compliance, openness, and interoperability.
