Visa May Add Cryptocurrencies to Its Payments Network, Says CEO
Visa CEO Al Kelly said the payments giant is in a position to make
cryptocurrencies more “safe, useful and applicable” and may add them to the
company’s payments network. Speaking on the company’s fiscal first-quarter
2021 earnings call, Kelly described cryptocurrencies like bitcoin as “
digital gold” which are “not used as a form of payment in a significant way
at this point.”
Visa CEO在2020第一季財報電話會議表示, 將致力於讓加密貨幣安全有效有用
Visa將可能(may)增加加密貨幣至Visa支付網路中
另外還提到數位黃金(bitcoin)在目前還沒被有效當作一種支付管道
“Our strategy here is to work with wallets and exchanges to enable users to
purchase these currencies using their Visa credentials or to cash out onto
our Visa credential to make a fiat purchase at any of the 70 million
merchants where Visa is accepted globally,” Kelly said.
策略是跟錢包, 交易所合作讓客戶透過Visa出入金, 將可在全球70m商家使用
(所以Visa只擁有法幣, 加密貨幣還是由錢包交易所持有? 看起來像錢包可以
刷Visa立刻轉法幣支付)
The payments executive also said stablecoins could be used for “gl
obal commerce” and that “digital currencies running on public
blockchains as additional networks just like RTP or ACH networks.”
數位貨幣定位像是ACH轉帳等管道
Kelly added:
“Today, 35 of the leading digital currency platforms and wallets have
already chosen to issue Visa, including coin-based Crypto.com, BlockFi, Fold
and BitPanda. These wallet relationships represent the potential for more
than 50 million Visa credentials. The next leading network has a fraction of
that. And it goes without saying, to the extent a specific digital currency
becomes a recognized means of exchange, there's no reason why we cannot add
it to our network, which already supports over 160 currencies today.”
提到Crypto卡, BlockFi卡, 現在不就有了? 還是要擴大支援?
評論：
繼SQ, Paypal後, Visa也表態了, 但策略不太一樣
比較像是聯盟錢包, 交易所, Visa守住法幣支付最後一哩路 (BCH:你們在忙什麼?)
電子支付專家怎麼看??
