Visa takes stablecoin payouts into production on Visa Direct

Visa has moved stablecoin cross-border payments from pilot to commercial deployment through Visa Direct, with payments infrastructure provider Inyo Global as the first "enabler." Businesses using Inyo's platform can now prefund global payouts with USDC in near real time across 180+ countries, rather than relying on traditional funding windows.

• The new funding option runs 24/7 and is available to eligible businesses through Inyo's existing payments platform.
• The rollout follows roughly a year of Visa Direct pilots with clients and partners testing how stablecoins could fund cross-border money movement.
• No further enablers, fee structures or corridor details were disclosed in the initial announcement.
