Visa and Mastercard launch USDC prefunding for cross-border payouts via Inyo and BVNK
Visa's Inyo integration allows eligible Visa Direct clients to prefund cross‑border payouts with USDC in near real‑time. Mastercard's Global Money Platform, through stablecoin infrastructure firm BVNK, lets businesses use stablecoin balances to pay recipients in local bank accounts. Both routes were announced on Oct. 15 and are available now for eligible businesses, with BVNK supporting USDC and OUSD. Mastercard aims to cover over 40 currencies in more than 200 countries by 2027. The offerings separate the funding choice from the payee’s use of crypto and operate via existing APIs.
