Visa

Fold is aiming at bringing its bitcoin rewards card product to users around the world through this expansionary partnership.

A data-driven exploration proving that Lightning scales bitcoin payments beyond Visa and that second-layer innovation is the way.

The partnership lets FTX exchange users in 40 countries easily spend their bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at any merchant that accepts Visa cards.

Bitcoin is a perfect fit as a means of exchange for entities who would traditionally make up the majority of transactions on SWIFT.

In partnership with Visa, Ripio Card allows users to earn 5% cashback in bitcoin on all prepaid purchases across the world until October 31.

The payments giant reportedly said it hopes its new service can help further mainstream adoption of bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

The fintech expects its prepaid debit card product to launch in the U.S. in Q1 2022.

Users can use the Visa card internationally to purchase regular goods with cryptocurrency and receive 2% cashback in BTC.

After rolling out its Strike app to public beta and partnering with Visa on a debit card, Lightning wallet provider Zap has announced a $3.5 million seed round.

Strike is an application that allows you to transact with Lightning payments with just a debit card or bank account. But, here’s the secret sauce: instead of having to buy bitcoin to load up your Lightning channels, users on Strike never touch BTC.
