Visa integrated the Monad blockchain into its stablecoin settlement program, allowing participating issuers and acquirers to settle payments over the network. Monad now joins Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, Arc, Base, Canton, Polygon and Tempo, bringing the total to 10 supported chains. By October 2026, Visa’s annualized stablecoin settlement volume had reached $25 billion, up from $7 billion when the April group was announced, representing a tenfold increase year over year. The network supports five stablecoins, while more than 225 stablecoin-linked card programs are active in over 50 countries, with transaction volumes growing by more than 150% year over year. Before its official inclusion, Monad had already recorded nearly 1 million stablecoin transactions in Visa’s on-chain analytics in August 2026.
