    Dutch payments firm Quantoz Payments has become a principal member of Visa, a move that lets it issue Visa-branded virtual debit cards backed by its regulated e-money tokens and sponsor other fintechs building stablecoin-linked card products across Europe.<\/p>\n

    Under the agreement, Quantoz can issue virtual debit cards tied to balances held in its USDQ, EURQ and EURD tokens, allowing users to spend those funds online, in-store and via mobile wallets. The company will also operate as a BIN sponsor, enabling third-party fintechs to embed card issuance into their own platforms using Quantoz\u2019s Visa membership.<\/p>\n

    Quantoz said its tokens are issued as regulated electronic money across the European Economic Area under an Electronic Money Institution licence from the Dutch central bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Reserves are held 1:1 in safeguarded accounts through a bankruptcy-remote foundation structure, and the firm said it must also maintain an additional 2% reserve buffer on its balance sheet.<\/p>\n

    More major payment networks compete to integrate stablecoins into mainstream finance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    In January, Visa announced adding stablecoin payout and settlement capabilities to Visa Direct through an integration with UK-based infrastructure provider BVNK, widening the ways its real-time payments network can move money globally.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    However, a month later, both Visa and Mastercard downplayed stablecoins in their recent earnings calls, basically claiming that they have no demand apart from trading.\u00a0<\/p>\n
