Visa expands stablecoin card push
Visa and Bridge plan to expand stablecoin-linked card programs to over 100 countries, with 18 already live. Pilot includes onchain settlement with Lead Bank.

We’re excited about @allscaleio’s upcoming Checkout launch this month, supported by our Movemaker Grant. Allscale positions itself as a “global stablecoin settlement network,” having completed two funding rounds backed by leading institutions including YZI Labs, Aptos Labs, and Amber Group. It already supports USDT wallet creation, transfers, and on-chain invoicing on @Aptos—the infrastructure is in place. But the upcoming Checkout is the crucial next step. With it, you can: • Pay merchants directly in stablecoins using Web3-friendly wallets (auto-bridging + auto-swap) • Enjoy privacy protection via zero-knowledge proofs • Benefit from automated KYT compliance and risk controls • Earn automatic yields on USDT/USDC (Auto Yield) All in one integrated settlement layer: Payments + Yield + Compliance + Privacy. If the ultimate future of stablecoins is a global payment network, then Allscale’s product—enabling traditional users to access on-chain finance without needing to understand its complexity—is the truest path to mass adoption.

@Stripe Finalizes $1.1B Bridge Acquisition: Marking the largest acquisition in the history of the crypto industry, Stripe has officially closed its $1.1 billion purchase of stablecoin infrastructure startup Bridge. The deal integrates Bridge’s "stablecoin orchestration" tools directly into Stripe’s global checkout flow, allowing merchants to accept USDC and USDT as easily as credit cards. This acquisition is seen as a cornerstone of Stripe's strategy to bypass traditional SWIFT rails for cross-border settlements, significantly reducing fees for international trade.

Creator commerce via biolink finally feels like a product, not a hack. I stood up a link‑in‑bio store on @allscaleio tonight and the rails matched the promise: • Setup: passkey wallet in minutes, 2FA e‑sign for brand deals and invoices, no app store • Checkout: guest‑clean, self‑custody, auto‑yield on stables until capture, privacy intact • Splits: per‑item creator/brand/affiliate payouts land in minutes to $USDC $USDT or $AS • Attribution: receipt‑bound promo tags, no pixel leaks; dispute‑ready audit trail • Links: QR‑ready micro‑pages for pop‑ups and DMs; scheduled drops with clear windows Next asks: per‑link payout clocks, return/refund ledgers for merch, and issuer‑agnostic tips that settle with the receipt #AllScale #PayFi $AS $USDC $USDT
