What Happened: During its third-quarter earnings call on Tuesday, Visa’s CEO, Ryan McInerney, said, “We are supportive of the Genius Act,” referring to the recent landmark legislation to regulate stablecoins, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump two weeks ago.
McInerney says that “it marks a key milestone on the path to regulatory clarity for stablecoins,” while adding that Visa has been active in this space for nearly a decade, and that he believes stablecoins have several use cases and can solve important payment problems.

Visa isn't limiting its involvement to experimentation. “We believe that Visa's role is to do what we always do, provide trust, standards, connectivity, billions of endpoints, scale and interoperability to the payments ecosystem,” he says.
The company pointed to two key areas where stablecoins are gaining traction: the first being volatile emerging markets with limited dollar access, and cross-border money movement, including B2B payments and remittances.
Visa notes that it is already working with partners such as Bridge and RAIN, and even banks, to deploy stablecoin-linked cards across markets. “Since 2020, we have enabled crypto users to spend more than $25 billion in Bitcoin, Ethereum, [an] array of other cryptocurrencies,” McInerney says, “And now, stablecoins.”
“There is so much more to come in this space,” McInerney concluded, “and we are excited about enabling commercial and money movement flows globally across networks, currencies and form factors.”
