Visa has made a strategic investment in BVNK, a global payments infrastructure provider specialising in stablecoin technology, marking a significant step in the evolution of digital payments. The investment, made through Visa Ventures, signals strong confidence in BVNK’s vision to transform how money moves across borders using blockchain-based stablecoins.
Stablecoins—digital currencies pegged to traditional assets—are rapidly gaining traction as a new backbone for global payments. According to Visa Onchain Analytics, stablecoin transactions have reached $27 trillion in volume across 1.25 billion transactions in 2025, highlighting a fundamental shift in payment technology. BVNK has positioned itself at the forefront of this change, building infrastructure to automate and scale stablecoin payments for businesses of all sizes.
This partnership follows BVNK’s $50 million Series B funding round in December, led by Haun Ventures, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. The fresh investment from Visa will help BVNK accelerate its expansion, particularly into the US market, where it has recently opened offices in San Francisco and New York City.
Rubail Birwadker, Head of Growth Products and Partnerships at Visa, stated,
“Stablecoins are fast becoming a part of global payment flows, and Visa invests in new technologies and builders like BVNK, staying at the forefront of what’s next in commerce to better serve our clients and partners.”
BVNK is currently processing $12 billion in annualised stablecoin payment volumes, enabling customers to move funds globally with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The company’s leadership team includes industry veterans from BlockFi and Cross River, underscoring its commitment to building robust, compliant infrastructure.
As stablecoins move from early adoption to mainstream use, Visa’s backing is expected to accelerate BVNK’s mission to deliver faster, more accessible payment solutions worldwide.
Notably, Visa has integrated stablecoins into its global merchant network, allowing customers to use popular stablecoins like USDC and USDT for everyday purchases at 150 million locations. This move aims to facilitate faster settlements and lower transaction fees for merchants while enabling consumers to pay with digital assets, bridging the gap between traditional and digital finance.
