Visa added the Monad network as a stablecoin settlement option for participating issuers and acquirers, the Monad Foundation said on November 10. The addition gives them another blockchain for settling obligations with Visa; the Monad Foundation’s announcement quoted Visa executive Dan Roesbery saying the move expands options for partners.
What can Visa partners settle on Monad?
Participating issuers and acquirers can use Monad to settle with Visa in stablecoins, according to the Foundation. Its announcement did not name the stablecoins that can be used or identify participating firms, and Unchained reported that Visa had not published its own announcement as of its report.
The Foundation said Monad’s compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine may let partners extend existing Ethereum custody, wallet and compliance integrations to the network. It said settlement on Monad can allow funds to move across weekends and holidays, while the familiar card experience remains unchanged for merchants and cardholders.
When will Monad’s privacy feature be available?
Monad’s Private Settlement feature is expected to reach Visa partners in the coming months, the Foundation said. It is designed to keep commercially sensitive details confidential while allowing institutions to share them with auditors and regulators; the announcement did not say the feature is live now.
The Foundation cited Visa figures showing a $25 billion annualized stablecoin settlement run rate as of September 2026, up roughly 10 times year over year, and more than 225 stablecoin-linked card programs live globally. Those figures describe Visa’s overall activity, not settlement volume on Monad.
Visa partners can now choose Monad as a settlement network, while the Foundation says its privacy functionality is still in development. The next stated milestone is its availability to partners in the coming months.
