Visa Adds Monad to Stablecoin Settlement Network

According to The Block, Visa has added the Monad blockchain network to its stablecoin settlement program, enabling participating issuers and acquirers to settle through the network. The Monad Foundation said Monad joins the list 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 meets their settlement needs. Visa reported that, as of September 2026, its stablecoin settlement annualized run rate reached US$20 billion, up more than 15x year over year; more than 225 stablecoin-related card programs have launched globally. The Monad Foundation said Monad 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 as needed.
