Visa earns its standard interchange and processing fees on those fiat transactions, the same economics as any other card spend. Crypto is the funding source; Visa's rails handle the settlement.\"},{\"q\":\"Is Visa testing stablecoin payments?\",\"a\":\"Yes. Visa has run pilots allowing merchant acquirers to receive USDC stablecoin settlements on the Solana blockchain rather than traditional bank wires. These pilots are limited and targeted at reducing cross-border settlement latency, but they represent a tangible experiment with non-fiat settlement.\"},{\"q\":\"What are the main risks for Visa investors?\",\"a\":\"Risks include regulatory pressure on interchange fees, competition from account-to-account payment networks that bypass card rails, central bank digital currencies that could disintermediate card networks, economic slowdowns reducing consumer spending volumes, and the long-term structural risk that stablecoins or crypto payment layers erode Visa's network utility.\"}]"},"class_list":["post-1000223","stock","type-stock","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themarketperiodical.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stock\/1000223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themarketperiodical.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stock"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themarketperiodical.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/stock"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themarketperiodical.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1000223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
