Visa has added Monad as a stablecoin settlement option for participating issuers and acquirers, while the planned privacy layer remains in development.
Visa has added Monad as a stablecoin settlement option for participating issuers and acquirers, while the planned privacy layer remains in development. This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 2 outlets (Blockonomi, The Block), plus live market data, as of Tue, 10 Nov 2026 16:45:01 UTC.
The integration positions Monad within Visa’s stablecoin settlement infrastructure and gives participating issuers and acquirers a privacy-focused settlement path. Its significance depends on the Private Settlement feature completing development and deployment.
- Visa added Monad as a stablecoin settlement option for participating issuers and acquirers.
- Private Settlement remains under development and is designed to protect institutional transaction details.
- Blockonomi reports a $25 billion annualized Visa stablecoin settlement run rate.
- Crypto market cap is $2.5 trillion; Bitcoin is down 2.81% over 24 hours.
Blockonomi and The Block agree that Visa added Monad as a stablecoin settlement option for participating issuers and acquirers, with The Block attributing the announcement to the Monad Foundation. Neither outlet reports a contradiction on the core integration. Blockonomi supplies additional detail absent from The Block’s shorter summary: Private Settlement remains under development, Category Labs designed it to protect institutional transaction details while allowing authorized oversight, and Visa reported a $25 billion annualized stablecoin settlement run rate during its October earnings call.
Visa has added Monad as a stablecoin settlement option for participating issuers and acquirers. The Block reported the development from the Monad Foundation, while Blockonomi likewise described the arrangement as a stablecoin settlement integration linking Visa’s network participants with the Monad blockchain.
The addition does not mean that Monad’s planned privacy mechanism is already complete. Blockonomi reports that Private Settlement remains under development. Category Labs designed the feature to shield institutional transaction information while preserving a route for authorized oversight, positioning privacy controls as a central part of the proposed settlement process.
The two outlets corroborate the principal announcement but provide different levels of context. The Block’s report centers on Visa’s selection of Monad and the foundation’s announcement, whereas Blockonomi adds the feature’s development status, Category Labs’ design role and a separate Visa figure. No contradiction between the outlets was identified in the supplied coverage.
The $25 billion annualized stablecoin settlement run rate cited by Blockonomi reflects what Visa reported during its October earnings call. It is a broader indicator of Visa’s reported stablecoin settlement activity and should not be presented as a volume generated specifically through the new Monad arrangement. The earlier reported run rate provides context for the scale of the stablecoin settlement infrastructure into which Monad is being introduced.
The broader crypto market backdrop was weak at the time of the report. Total market capitalization stood at $2.5 trillion, the overall market was broadly lower, and 
Bitcoin fell 2.81% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index registered 32, corresponding to Fear, while no coin-specific market data for Monad was supplied. What to watch is the completion of Private Settlement and the practical scope of participation by issuers and acquirers.
