## Source summary

Reap and Visa announced a strategic collaboration to bring Reap-powered, stablecoin-linked Visa credit-card programs to more than 100 markets, subject to local regulation; the announcement says the issuing footprint will extend beyond Asia and Latin America into EMEA and Africa. Reap also says it already settles payment obligations with Visa in Asia Pacific using stablecoins. The partners say they will explore agentic-payment and multicurrency capabilities. This is a company/partner announcement: it gives no rollout timetable or independent evidence that card programs are live in all 100-plus markets.

## Why it matters

The announcement links Reap's stablecoin-backed corporate card issuing with Visa acceptance and cross-border spend, and it separately describes Reap's stablecoin settlement with Visa in Asia Pacific. The 100-plus-market footprint is a planned, locally regulated expansion, not a claim that cards are already available everywhere.

## Key numbers

- **Markets targeted for stablecoin-linked Visa card programs:** 100+
