Visa、Mastercard、Stripeが共同でステーブルコインプラットフォームを立ち上げる方向で協議中と報じられており、Coinbaseも関心を示している。この動きは、ドル連動型ステーブルコイン市場が3030億ドルに成長し、TetherのUSDTが61%、CircleのUSDCが25%を占める中で起きている。Stripeは以前、ステーブルコインインフラ企業Bridgeを11億ドルで買収し、MastercardはBVNKの18億ドルでの買収を発表した。各社は、既存のネットワーク効果、すなわち84億枚のカード流通量と2026年第1四半期に処理された7兆1000億ドルの合計決済額を活用し、ステーブルコイン市場でのシェア拡大を狙う。
