Stablecoins are moving from idea to infrastructure—powering real settlement. Visa has hit a $7B annualized run rate, 50% QoQ.
We have expanded our global stablecoin settlement program to @Arc, @Base, @CantonNetwork, @0xPolygon and @Tempo, bringing us to nine chains.
Stablecoins are multi‑chain. Settlement has to be seamless across it.
At global scale, trust in money starts with the infrastructure that moves it.
That’s why Visa is now live as an anchor validator on the @tempo network. 🧵
Agentic commerce will generate significant new growth.
We have seen it with every major tech wave—ecommerce, mobile, cloud.
This one is no different. It’s not zero‑sum. 🧵
The infrastructure for agentic commerce is being built right now.
The decisions we make about credentials, reach and standards will define how agents transact for years to come. 🧵
Enter @Visa’s new card spec for Machine Payments Protocol (MPP)—an open standard from @tempo and @stripe—bringing card‑based payments into autonomous, machine‑to‑machine flows.
Combined with enablers like @BasisTheory and @getVGS, developers can securely tokenize and orchestrate credentials while transacting on global card rails.
Open by design. No single rail. Global reach.
With Visa’s participation, the industry can unlock new efficiencies without sacrificing resilience, security or reliability.

Autonomous agentic experiences are starting to emerge but today’s web infrastructure lacks the guardrails for autonomous AI agents.
Leveraging Visa Intelligent Commerce and Trusted Agent Protocol, lobster.cash introduces an open payment standard for OpenClaw agents, keeping humans in the loop while enabling agentic commerce to scale.
Announcing lobster.cash. The open payment standard for OpenClaw agents.
There's no secure way for OpenClaw agents to pay for things. Until now.

One misconception about agentic commerce is that it makes digital shopping interfaces obsolete.
In reality, as AI coding accelerates, we’re entering a new golden age of product discovery—richer, smarter experiences alongside agent‑driven simplicity.
Prediction: agentic commerce makes 'everyday shopping' invisible. "Get me 3 bananas, make no mistakes"
On the flip side, discovery & brand experience will be surreal. AI coding makes anything possible

Money movement is entering its onchain era.
Great conversation at #WEF26 with @KashRazzaghi. This isn’t crypto vs. cards—it is about upgrading the rails of global commerce with faster, programmable settlement.
Stablecoins can make the global economy dramatically more efficient. As regulation advances, we are scaling stablecoin settlement with partners, focused on built-in compliance, openness, and interoperability.
The internet scaled through open, interoperable standards. Stablecoins need the same foundation so developers everywhere can build on shared infrastructure and accelerate adoption.
