Visa Direct moves USDC prefunding for cross-border payouts into commercial use
Visa is moving this capability from pilot to commercial deployment with Inyo Global, its first integration partner. Eligible business clients can prefund cross-border payouts sent through Visa Direct with USDC, a cryptocurrency designed to track the U.S. dollar, in near real time. Inyo’s platform supports domestic and international payouts in more than 180 countries; that figure describes the platform’s reach, not availability on every corridor for every client. The practical shift is that a stablecoin is entering the operational funding of business payments, while access remains limited to eligible clients using Inyo.
