Thu, Jul 2, 2026, 12:00 AM

Stablecoin settlement is already live inside card networks. The harder questions are just beginning. In this panel, Malcolm Clarke (Western Union), Ahmed Zifzaf (GlobalPayments), Brian Butler (Polygon Labs), Pete Wexler (Visa), and Dante Reminick (Halliday Payments, Moderator) map where stablecoin settlement is operating today and what it will take to scale it. The discussion covers: • Where stablecoin settlement is live inside card networks and how it changes economics for acquirers, PSPs and merchants • Unsolved merchant-side gaps: refunds, disputes, chargebacks and fraud handling • How remittance and cross-border operators deploy stablecoins differently from card networks • Whether the merchant acceptance layer consolidates or fragments across providers and chains A practical look at the real state of stablecoin settlement in payments infrastructure.
