Visa Adds Monad as a Stablecoin Settlement Network

Visa has added Monad to its stablecoin settlement network, allowing participating issuers and acquirers to settle transactions through the blockchain.

Monad joins existing supported networks including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Stellar and Base, giving Visa partners more options for onchain settlement.

The Monad Foundation is also developing a Private Settlement feature, expected in the coming months, that will let institutions keep transaction details confidential while giving auditors and regulators access when needed.

Visa reported a $20 billion annualised stablecoin settlement run rate as of September 2026, up more than 15x year over year.
