Visa Tests Stablecoin Spending While Shares Trade Below Valuation Estimates
Positive Sentiment: Analyses and coverage note material scale: coverage reports cite ~ $4.6B annualized settlement volume potential for the Bridge program and broad geographic expansion across Europe, APAC, Africa and the Middle East — signaling meaningful addressable volume if adoption accelerates.

Neutral Sentiment: Macro and industry backdrop remains supportive: the Nilson Report notes card spending scale (Mastercard + Visa) reached $10 trillion in 2025 — a reminder Visa benefits from secular card volume growth even as it experiments with new rails.
