Visa, Nium Pilot Stablecoin Settlements Beyond Business Days Under MAS’ BLOOM
What's happening
Visa has joined the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)-led BLOOM initiative to pilot stablecoin settlement alongside payments firm Nium, exploring seven-day and 24/7 settlement models. BLOOM, which stands for Borderless, Liquid, Open, Online and Multi-currency, brings together financial institutions and payments companies to test faster, programmable cross-border payments; Maybank Singapore is a recent participant. The pilot is positioned as a step toward interoperability between traditional payment rails and stablecoin networks and is testing whether cross-border payments can be settled every day of the week.
Why it's trending
Because MAS's BLOOM is running coordinated industry pilots now, and major players like Visa, Nium and Maybank Singapore are testing seven-day/24/7 stablecoin settlement models.
