PANews reported on November 30th that, according to The Block, payment giant Visa has partnered with crypto infrastructure provider Aquanow to expand its stablecoin settlement services in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (CEMEA). This integration will enable Visa's issuing and acquiring institutions across the region to settle transactions using approved stablecoins such as USDC. The service supports settlement 365 days a year, eliminating the weekend and holiday delays common in traditional banking systems.
