The USDC is a stablecoin that's pegged on a 1:1 basis with the US dollar and is a joint project of crypto firms Circle and Coinbase.<\/p>\n<p>The pilot is in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/crypto-com-announces-partnership-with-visa-to-accelerate-worldwide-crypto-adoption\/\">collaboration with the payment and crypto platform Crypto.com<\/a>. Visa plans to offer the option to more partners later this year, the report said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019re excited to share news of a historic moment:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vCNztABJoG\">https:\/\/t.co\/vCNztABJoG<\/a> & <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Visa?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Visa<\/a> successfully conducted the first settlement of transactions using USDC!<\/p>\n<p>A huge milestone for the industry as crypto and fiat networks begin to converge.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v70qC8n4Yy\">https:\/\/t.co\/v70qC8n4Yy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Crypto.com (@cryptocom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cryptocom\/status\/1376465612491288579?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 29, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Previously, Crypto.com converted all customer payments from crypto-to-fiat on a near-instant basis whenever they paid with the firm's Visa card for goods or services. This meant\u00a0providers like Crypto.com deposited fiat currency in a bank account and wired the funds to Visa at the end of the day to settle any transactions, adding cost and complexity for overall businesses.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Using Ethereum to settle transactions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The above is very similar to how traditional or crypto exchanges work, meaning the crypto <em>itself <\/em>was just converted to cash instead of being transferred. But now, Visa's new move will see all payments occurring directly on the Ethereum blockchain itself.<\/p>\n<p>That would, in turn, strip out the need to convert cryptocurrencies into fiat money in order for the transaction to be settled.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the move comes a few weeks after Visa said it would <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/visa-says-its-developing-a-bitcoin-and-crypto-business\/\">develop a cryptocurrency business<\/a>. As <em>CryptoSlate<\/em> reported at the time, the firm said the $1.7 trillion crypto sector was &#8216;too big to ignore' and that it would work towards the acceptance of Bitcoin throughout its 70 million-retailer-strong network.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re trying to do two things. One is to enable the purchase of bitcoin on Visa credentials. And secondly, working with bitcoin wallets to allow the bitcoin to be translated into a fiat currency and therefore immediately be able to be used at any of the 70 million places around the world where Visa is accepted,&#8221; said Visa CEO Al Kelly at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto-natives must be so thrilled right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global payments giant Visa today announced it would allow the settlement of cryptocurrencies on its network, as per a report on Reuters. \u201cWe see increasing demand from consumers across the world to be able to access, hold and use digital currencies and we\u2019re seeing demand from our clients to be able to build products that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":185506,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,32631],"tags":[],"prediction_market_topic":[],"post_folder":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.9 (Yoast SEO v21.9.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>VISA to allow USDC settlements via Ethereum on its network<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Global payments giant Visa today announced it would allow the settlement of cryptocurrencies on its network.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/visa-usdc-ethereum-stablecoin\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"VISA to allow USDC settlements via Ethereum on its network\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Global payments giant Visa today announced it would allow the settlement of cryptocurrencies on its network.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/visa-usdc-ethereum-stablecoin\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"CryptoSlate\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-03-29T09:16:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-06-23T21:44:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/visa-usdc.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Shaurya Malwa\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cryptoslate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cryptoslate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Shaurya Malwa\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/visa-usdc-ethereum-stablecoin\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/visa-usdc-ethereum-stablecoin\/\"},\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/author\/shaurya-malwa\/#person\",\"name\":\"Shaurya Malwa\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/author\/shaurya-malwa\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/author\/shaurya-malwa\/\"},\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/author\/shaurya-malwa\/#authorimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/author-shaurya-malwa.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/author-shaurya-malwa.jpg\",\"caption\":\"Shaurya Malwa\"},\"jobTitle\":\"Analyst\",\"description\":\"Post-mining his first bitcoin in 2012, there was no looking back for Shaurya Malwa.
