ME News Message, December 17 (UTC+8), according to Bloomberg, Visa announced that U.S. banks can use Circle's USDC for transaction settlement via the Solana blockchain, marking the first full deployment of its stablecoin settlement service in the U.S. banking system. The first users include Cross River Bank and Lead Bank. This move benefits from the regulatory easing during Trump's second term and will promote the launch of the Arc chain developed jointly by Visa and Circle. Visa expects stablecoins to become a key payment channel in the future, with an annualized settlement volume reaching $3.5 billion by the end of November. (Source: ME)
