Inyo has integrated the capability into its platform, giving the businesses it serves the option to prefund cross-border payouts through Visa Direct with USDC in near real time, rather than relying solely on traditional funding windows2.Through a single connection, Inyo’s platform lets businesses onboard users, manage fraud and compliance, accept payments and send domestic and international payouts across more than 180 countries, powered by Visa Direct.“The next chapter for stablecoins is adoption,” said Vira Platonova, Global Head of Visa Direct. “Over the last several years, we’ve worked with several partners and clients to explore how these technologies can improve money movement. We’re now seeing those efforts translate into live implementations, helping businesses access more flexible and efficient ways to fund and move money globally through Visa Direct, starting with Inyo Global as our first enabler.”Visa Direct Head Vira Platonova will discuss how stablecoins are reshaping global money movement during several Money20/20 USA sessions next week.In 2025, Visa introduced stablecoin prefunding and payout pilot programs through Visa Direct.The pilots demonstrated how stablecoins could support cross-border funding, liquidity management and global money movement for eligible clients.Today, those capabilities are moving from pilot programs and into real-world commercial operations.Inyo Global is the first enabler to bring Visa Direct’s stablecoin prefunding capability into commercial production.“Innovation in money movement is ultimately about creating a better experience for customers, and that’s exactly our focus at Inyo,” said Robson Dantas, Chief Product and Technology Officer and co-founder at Inyo Global. “By integrating Visa Direct’s stablecoin-enabled prefunding into the Inyo platform, we’re giving the money transmitters, fintechs and payment companies we serve a new way to fund their payouts, one that is available around the clock and runs through the same Inyo APIs they already use.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The implementation builds on Visa’s broader efforts to connect traditional payment infrastructure with blockchain-enabled technologies. By offering stablecoin funding and moving money, Visa is helping clients explore new ways to improve efficiency while maintaining the reliability, security and scale of Visa’s global network.Visa’s work with Inyo Global reflects growing demand for stablecoin-powered solutions that can help businesses manage liquidity, fund payment activity and move money internationally with greater speed and flexibility. As adoption continues to accelerate, Visa is working with clients and partners to bring stablecoin-enabled capabilities to additional money movement use cases around the world.Visa (NYSE: V) is a world leader in digital payments, facilitating transactions between consumers, sellers, financial institutions and government entities across more than 200 countries and territories.
