<\/div>\n

Visa has expanded its stablecoin settlement pilot by integrating five additional blockchains, including Polygon and Coinbase’s Base, with this coming amid a broader acceleration in stablecoin adoption. <\/p>\n

The news ignited a slight bullish outlook for Polygon (POL) and other tokens.<\/p>\n

Polygon, Base expansion part of strategic multi-chain move<\/h2>\n

Visa announced<\/a> on Wednesday that it added Polygon, Base, Canton Network, Circle’s Arc, and Stripe-backed Tempo to its stablecoin settlement program. <\/p>\n

The move now sees these platforms become part of a network that initially supported Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Stellar.<\/p>\n

Visa\u2019s solution is now accessible to nine networks and comes as the network hits $7 billion in annualized run rate. <\/p>\n

The program has seen a 50% spike from the previous quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partners are building in a multi-chain world, and they expect their options to reflect that reality,\u201d Rubail Birwadker, Visa’s global head of growth products and strategic partnerships, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The integration gives partners the option to choose what \u201cbest fits their needs, while relying on Visa to provide a common settlement layer across all of them,\u201d Birdwadker added.<\/p>\n

The initiative builds on pilots in regions like Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, alongside USDC-linked card programs in over 50 countries.<\/p>\n

Global adoption of stablecoins, with Tether\u2019s USDT and Circle\u2019s USDC the leading players, has increased significantly amid regulatory milestones across the world.<\/p>\n

Many large financial institutions and banks see stablecoins as increasingly vital to cross-border payments, and blockchain integrations are helping bring this to users.<\/p>\n

\u201cVisa adding Polygon signals that stablecoins are moving into real-world payments at scale,\u201d Polygon Labs chief executive officer Marc Boiron said. \u201cBy combining Visa\u2019s global reach with Polygon\u2019s fast, low-cost infrastructure, we are making stablecoin settlement more practical, reliable, and accessible for partners around the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Jesse Pollak, Base’s founder, noted its role in “making stablecoin payments a daily reality for billions,” while Canton Network’s Eric Saraniecki highlighted compliance for institutions. <\/p>\n

These partnerships underscore blockchain’s maturation for mainstream finance, potentially accelerating adoption amid rising stablecoin volumes.<\/p>\n

Polygon and Canton Network price outlook<\/h2>\n

Polygon (POL), the ex-MATIC token, did not react sharply to the news, largely as Bitcoin and Ethereum retested $76,000 and $2,270, respectively. <\/p>\n

The same outlook played out for Canton Network (CC).<\/p>\n

However, with traction a key factor to network activity, investors may see benefits from heightened visibility via Visa’s program as bullish for the tokens. <\/p>\n

Polygon, a blockchain platform for global payments and digital commerce, could target gains above $0.10 amid the rising daily volume. <\/p>\n

The token traded around $0.091 on Wednesday, flat in the past 24 hours and down nearly 4% over the past week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Canton Network (CC), tailored for regulated markets, traded near $0.15 as of writing. <\/p>\n

The token has earlier seen a brief upside to $0.16 amid a 200% spike in daily volume but faced downward pressure as BTC and ETH pared gains.<\/p>\n
