Visa and Mastercard Say Stablecoins No Threat, for Now

Visa and Mastercard recently stated that stablecoins are nowhere near threatening their payments dominance. In their latest earnings calls, both companies described current stablecoin usage as negligible compared to Visa’s $15 trillion annual transactions. They noted stablecoins might find better use in regions with unstable local currencies but are not challenging their stronghold in major markets. Both payment giants stressed that for now, traditional card networks remain far ahead in scale and utility.
