 <p>Visa already has a dedicated account with Circle, USDC’s issuer. The firm will now send USDC out of its treasury to WorldPay and Nuvei. In turn, the two firms will directly facilitate payments for merchants.&nbsp;Visa decided to use the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Solana" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/solana.html">Solana</a> (SOL) network over Ethereum (ETH) due to its faster transaction speeds. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Solana" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/solana.html">Solana</a> (SOL) also has a lower fee compared to Ethereum (ETH). </p>

 <p>However, Sheffield did mention that the processing time to send funds in or out of its treasury would remain the same. This is despite promises of faster transactions from stablecoins. According to&nbsp;Jeremy Allaire, Circle’s co-founder, and CEO, </p> 
 <p><strong>“Expanding the pilot exemplifies how pairing USDC with Visa’s innovation opens up the future of payments, commerce, and financial applications.”</strong></p>

 <p>Although Visa is using the SOL network to send and receive USDC, it is unclear how it may affect the network’s native token, SOL. The token has gained 1.1% in the last 24 hours and 1% in the last hour. The recent gains could be attributed to Visa using the project’s blockchain for its stablecoin settlements.</p>
