Visa and the Connection with Crypto Firms

Lately, Visa is creating the bridge for the mainstream to adopt the Digital Currencies.

Since they already made partnerships with a wide variety of Startups related to Crypto.

The fact is, Fold is not the first startup that offers a Visa Co-branded Debit Card. Although it’s selling point is unique. And the Reward system is also unique.

Since, most companies that offers Visa Cards, such as Coinbase, only focus on allowing its users to spend their Cryptocurrencies on approved merchants. Without giving them the Rewards.

Finding this kind of partnerships between the Crypto Startups and companies such as Visa is amazing. We can see that almost on a daily basis more and more partnerships appear. Partnerships that prove to be very useful for the connection between the Crypto Industry and the regular Economy and Market.

The more partnerships that are made are a step to bring everything closer.
