Visa Plans To Allow Settlements of Transactions In Crypto

Crypto adoption is on its way with the big news of Visa finally announcing the plan of letting its partners use the Ethereum blockchain for settlement of transactions made in fiat. For this initiative, the company has partnered with the famous cryptocurrency exchange, Crypto.com. The plan will be brought to life in the latter part of this year.
