Visa integrates Monad into stablecoin settlement network

According to The Block, Visa has added the Monad blockchain network to its stablecoin settlement program, enabling participating card-issuing and acquiring institutions to settle transactions through the network. The Monad Foundation stated that Monad joins a series of blockchain networks already supported by Visa, including Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, Circle’s Arc, Base, Canton, Polygon, and Tempo. Dan Roesbery, Visa’s Vice President of Global Onchain Partnerships and GTM, said in a statement that the goal is to give partners the flexibility to choose the blockchain network that best fits their needs for settlement. Visa reported that as of September 2026, its annualized run rate for stablecoin settlements reached $20 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of over 15 times; globally, more than 225 stablecoin-related card programs are now live. The Monad Foundation announced that it is developing a privacy feature for institutions, expected to launch in the coming months, called Private Settlement, which will allow institutions to keep sensitive transaction details confidential while sharing them with auditors or regulators when required.
