Card issuers and acquirers in the program can now settle with Visa over the Monad network. Monad joins Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, Circle's Arc, Base, Canton, Polygon and Tempo as networks the program supports. Visa added Arc, Base, Canton, Polygon and Tempo in April 2026. Visa's annualized stablecoin settlement run rate was $20 billion as of September 2026, more than 15 times the level a year earlier, according to The Block. The company had more than 225 stablecoin-linked card programs live worldwide. "Our goal is to give our partners the flexibility to settle on the blockchain networks that best meet their needs," Dan Roesbery, Visa's vice president of global onchain partnerships, said in a statement. He said adding Monad expands the options available to partners and is another step toward multi-chain settlement infrastructure for stablecoin-enabled payments. The Monad Foundation said blockchain settlement can move funds on weekends and holidays, unlike traditional card settlement, which runs on a five-business-day banking schedule. The foundation also said a privacy feature called Private Settlement is expected in the coming months. It would let institutions keep transaction details confidential while sharing them with auditors or regulators when needed. The foundation said the feature is being built directly into Monad, so private transactions can draw on the same liquidity as other transactions on the network, and that Monad can support it without slowing settlement. "The next phase will be defined by whether institutions can keep sensitive flows confidential without leaving open networks," Keone Hon, co-founder and general manager of the Monad Foundation, said in a statement. Visa has also been exploring private settlement on Canton. In June 2026, it announced a proof of concept with stablecoin issuer Brale to test settlement using Brale's dollar-backed SBC token, focused on how institutions can settle onchain while controlling who can see sensitive transaction data. --- *Sponsored: [Quotient](https://agentwire.news/go/q2-agents/md).
