> Monad’s planned Private Settlement system is designed to shield institutional transaction details while allowing authorized oversight, but remains under development.

Visa has added Monad to the blockchains available for stablecoin settlement by participating issuers and acquirers, extending its payment network’s infrastructure while Monad’s institutional privacy system remains under development.

Participating issuers and acquirers can use supported stablecoins to settle Visa obligations on Monad. Those blockchain transfers can take place on weekends and holidays, outside standard bank settlement hours. The service covers transfers between participating financial institutions and Visa, not consumer card purchases.

Category Labs is developing Monad’s Private Settlement feature, which is designed to shield institutional transaction details while preserving authorized oversight. The feature is not live, and the network’s inclusion does not make those privacy controls available.

Visa’s stablecoin settlement program had reached an annualized run rate of $25 billion by Oct. 27, 10 times its year-earlier pace. Annualized means the recent pace is projected across a year; the total covers Visa’s full program and does not identify activity on Monad.
