The payment card provider announces that it intends to make its system available to fintech companies and neobanks dealing with cryptocurrencies.
Cooperation with Crypto.com is another signal sent by Visa that it takes the future of cryptocurrency as a means of payment very seriously.

The cryptocurrency market is also very volatile. Coin prices could double before falling back to where they started, and it could all happen in one day.
Bitcoin is the most popular currency among cryptocurrencies, which is why its movement is closely monitored.
The price of Bitcoin on Thursday reached its highest level since mid-August 2022. Last year, nearly $1.4 trillion disappeared from the cryptocurrency market after the turmoil that brought bankruptcies, project and company failures. All this was crowned with the collapse of the large FTX exchange.
Rising Federal Reserve interest rates to fight inflation have also weighed heavily on crypto markets. Bitcoin is also closely correlated with the stock markets, and in particular with the high-tech Nasdaq index.
Bullish sentiment in risky assets was supported by the opinion that the economic slowdown may not be as bad as expected and the Fed may slow down the pace of interest rate hikes.
Cryptocurrency markets rallied on Thursday, rejecting the US government's tougher regulatory stance.The value of the entire cryptocurrency market increased by over $84.8 billion in 24 hours.

In late 2024, Tesla will open 3,500 new and existing Supercharger stations along highway corridors to non-Tesla customers, as part of a $7.5 billion federal program.
The move could help Tesla become a universal "gas station" of the EV era and risk losing its competitive advantage.
