The Monad Foundation said Visa added Monad on Nov. 10 as a stablecoin settlement option for participating Visa issuers and acquirers, giving them another way to settle Visa obligations onchain, according to the Monad Foundation’s announcement. The foundation said settlement on Monad can move funds on weekends and holidays, while card settlement on banking rails traditionally runs on a five-business-day schedule.
How can Visa partners use Monad?
Issuers and acquirers can settle Visa obligations in stablecoins over the Monad network, the foundation said. Because Monad is compatible with Ethereum’s software environment, partners using Ethereum-based custody, wallet and compliance tools can typically extend those integrations to Monad instead of building new ones, according to the release.
The announcement did not name which stablecoins will be used or identify participating issuers and acquirers, Unchained reported. Visa vice president Dan Roesbery said in the release that the addition expands settlement options for partners and advances the company’s multi-chain infrastructure.
What scale and privacy features are involved?
The Monad Foundation said Visa reported a $25 billion annualized stablecoin settlement run rate as of September 2026, about 10 times the year-earlier figure, and more than 225 stablecoin-linked card programs live worldwide. Those figures describe Visa’s program overall; the announcement did not give a settlement volume for Monad.
Monad’s Private Settlement feature is planned for the coming months, the foundation said. It is designed to keep commercially sensitive transaction details confidential while allowing institutions to share them with auditors and regulators. The feature is not yet live, Unchained reported.
The next stated development is the planned rollout of Private Settlement to Visa partners in the coming months, according to the Monad Foundation.
