Reap and Visa expand stablecoin card programmes to over 100 markets

WHAT HAPPENED

The Paypers reports that Reap and Visa are expanding stablecoin-linked credit-card programmes to more than 100 markets, subject to local rules. The article describes stablecoins funding corporate and cross-border spending and says Reap already settles its Visa obligations in stablecoins through Visa’s Asia-Pacific settlement programme. A planned multi-currency card capability has no disclosed launch date; actual availability remains market-specific.
