Cross River Bank

A major breakthrough for modern payments. 💥 Cross River is one of the first regulated US banks to settle stablecoin transactions onchain as part of @Visa’s stablecoin settlement pilot, using @Circle’s USDC over Solana. This is a foundational shift in how money moves. Our unified infrastructure supports both stablecoins and fiat, creating interoperability between public blockchain networks and the core U.S. payment rails for near-instant, 7-day settlement. 🔗 usa.visa.com/about-visa/new…

We're proud to be at the forefront of this evolution.
