Partnering with Bridge represents a move in helping to make stablecoins usable in everyday life, giving consumers more choice in how they manage and spend their money.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bridge manages the movement and conversion of stablecoins behind the scenes on behalf of developers. Lead Bank supports the infrastructure and is the financial institution partner for card issuance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers can also add the Bridge-enabled cards to digital wallets and use them through the existing Visa network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2516\" data-end=\"2930\">Visa\u2019s move comes just two days after <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/mastercard-blockchain\/\">Mastercard<\/a> announced a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/mastercard-launches-stablecoin-payment-support-via-partnerships-with-major-crypto-companies\/\">wide-ranging stablecoin payments initiative<\/a> on April 28.
