## Source summary

Visa is piloting a model in North America that combines VisaNet settlement data with on-chain credit infrastructure from Credit Coop. Participating lenders can use the data to underwrite and automate financing for stablecoin-linked card programs' settlement obligations. Visa supplies data and network infrastructure; it is not directly making the loans.

## Why it matters

On-chain working-capital financing could reduce prefunding pressure and support round-the-clock settlement for stablecoin-linked card programs. The initiative is still a North America pilot: no lender count, borrower terms, pricing, independent default audit or expansion timetable is disclosed. Visa's program and settlement figures and Credit Coop's financing record are company-reported, not independently verified outcomes of this pilot.

## Key numbers

- **Stablecoin-linked card programs supported by Visa:** 160+ (Visa-reported)
- **Visa stablecoin settlement volume:** >$20 billion annualized (Visa-reported)
- **Financing arranged by Credit Coop since 2023:** >$2.5 billion+ (provider-reported)

## Evidence and credibility note

Independent payments-trade coverage corroborated by Visa's first-party pilot announcement. The pilot design and company-reported scale indicators are traceable, but adoption, credit terms, losses and operating outcomes are not independently established.
