Visa and their interest for Web3 and NFT
Visa’s business strategy has been showing big and increasing interest on the Web3. The most recent one is Visa’s partnership with the FTX crypto exchange to launch debit card services in 40 countries, mainly in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
In April, Mastercard’s competitor, Visa, also applied for 15 trademarks, including five for its “Circles” emblem, five for its famous “Priceless” motto, and five for its brand name for many financial goods and services, NFT, and Metaverse.
