Visa Direct launches USDC prefunding in live production

Visa Direct has moved its USDC prefunding service into commercial production through partnership with Inyo Global. The setup enables stablecoin-based cross-border payouts at scale.

The mechanism: Visa Direct customers can now prefund accounts using USDC on blockchain rails, then execute payouts through traditional payment networks. Inyo Global handles the settlement layer.

This marks the first major payment rail operator running production USDC infrastructure for enterprise payouts, shifting stablecoin rails from pilot to revenue phase.
