⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Stablecoin settlement cuts Visa's 2-3 day waits to seconds, handing merchants instant cash with near-zero fees.
  • OpenPasskey's ClearingVault on Base L2 bridges card crypto to on-chain via RIP-7212 — a dev pattern for more than payments.
  • Skeptical upside: Stablecoins dodge Bitcoin's volatility pitfalls; Visa likely copies if it scales beyond pilots.
