Visa has actually included Monad as a settlement network for companies and acquirers in its stablecoin settlement program.Monad is the tenth chain in the program, after Arc, Base, Canton, Polygon and Tempo participated April 2026.Visa has not yet stated which stablecoins can pick Monad or which partners will utilize it, and its own release has actually not emerged.

For somebody holding Monad’s token, the modification is narrower than the heading sounds. A settlement choice suggests banks and payment companies can path stablecoin payments through Monad. It does not, by itself, indicate any of them do. Absolutely nothing released up until now names a provider or acquirer that has actually picked Monad, or which stablecoins it will bring.

Before this addition, the program covered 9 networks:

The last 5 on that list was available in one batch, revealed on 29 April 2026. Monad shows up by itself, about 6 months later on. Put next to that list, Monad’s addition appears like Visa broadening the menu for its partners instead of choosing a preferred.

This is not Monad’s very first stablecoin heading this year. It earlier drew attention with the StraitsX stablecoin strategy, which was likewise a strategy, not evidence of volume.
