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第一季财报电话会议表示, 将致力于让加密货币安全有效有用
Visa将可能(may)增加加密货币至Visa支付网络中
另外还提到数位黄金(bitcoin)在目前还没被有效当作一种支付管道
“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.
策略是跟钱包, 交易所合作让客户透过Visa出入金, 将可在全球70m商家使用
(所以Visa只拥有法币, 加密货币还是由钱包交易所持有? 看起来像钱包可以
刷Visa立刻转法币支付)
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.”
数位货币定位像是ACH转帐等管道
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, 现在不就有了? 还是要扩大支援?
评论：
继SQ, Paypal后, Visa也表态了, 但策略不太一样
比较像是联盟钱包, 交易所, Visa守住法币支付最后一哩路 (BCH:你们在忙什么?)
电子支付专家怎么看??
