Visa survey: Bank-grade protections boost stablecoin adoption intent to 56%

A Visa report titled "Money Travels 2026" reveals that consumer willingness to use stablecoins increases from 36% to 56% if bank-grade fraud protection and deposit insurance are provided. If offered through existing financial institutions, the intent rises to 45%. The survey also notes that 56% of respondents are unfamiliar with stablecoins, and 64% trust payment providers more than the technology itself. Currently, the global supply of USD-pegged stablecoins exceeds $295 billion, with Tether (USDT) at approximately $183.4 billion and USD Coin (USDC) at $76 billion. Visa's stablecoin settlement volume has surpassed $20 billion annually, marking a 15-fold increase over the past year.
