A major breakthrough for modern payments. 💥 Cross River is one of the first regulated US banks to settle stablecoin transactions onchain as part of @Visa’s stablecoin settlement pilot, using @Circle’s USDC over Solana. This is a foundational shift in how money moves. Our unified infrastructure supports both stablecoins and fiat, creating interoperability between public blockchain networks and the core U.S. payment rails for near-instant, 7-day settlement. 🔗 usa.visa.com/about-visa/news…

The demand for faster, more transparent settlement has been increasing. Stablecoins are meeting that demand. Being among the first to support onchain card settlement on the @Mastercard network is a validation of what we've been building toward: digital asset rails and traditional payment infrastructure operating seamlessly, side by side. We're proud to be at the forefront of this evolution.
