Abstract generation in progress
Crypto World News reports that payment giant Visa announced a series of strategic expansions around stablecoins, tokenization, and AI at its annual payments forum. Its Chief Product and Strategy Officer Jack Forestell pointed out, "AI is changing the front end of business, while stablecoins are reshaping the back end." Official data shows that by March 2026, Visa's annualized settlement volume of stablecoins processed on Visanet has reached $7 billion, and it is currently working to extend seven-day continuous on-chain settlements from card-issuing banks to acquiring banks. In terms of tokenization, Visa will build a technological layer for "tokenized deposits," allowing banks to convert traditional deposits into programmable, 24/7 digital currencies while retaining funds on their balance sheets. Additionally, Visa has partnered with OpenAI to enable developers and merchants to accept Visa payments initiated by AI agents under user-set limits and approval conditions.

AI agent payments + collaboration with OpenAI—will agents place orders and pay for them themselves from now on?

Only 7 billion by 2026? That's conservative; at this rate, we might need to add a zero later.

Visa has effectively pulled off the “bottom” of traditional finance this time—this isn’t a joke when the stablecoin settlement volume is 7 billion.

Issuing banks and acquiring banks are fully interconnected; the moat of traditional payment networks still exists, but the waters have become clearer.

The term "tokenized deposits" is interesting; banks want to ride the DeFi wave without losing customers.
