Visa and Mastercard postpone crypto plans
In latest crypto news, people close to the matter revealed that payment giants Visa and Mastercard are pushing the launch of crypto-related services at least until market conditions improve. The digital payment giants are also waiting for regulatory scrutiny to ease on the crypto market before they proceed to launch their services.
A spokesperson for the Visa said that the recent collapse of high profile companies in the cryptocurrency sector is a reminder that we still have a long way to go before crypto becomes a mainstream tool for payments and financial services.

Mastercard looks to focus on blockchain
A spokesperson for Mastercard said that they will continue to focus on the underlying technology of crypto – blockchain – and use it to solve current problems in the financial sector and build more efficient systems. Last year, Mastercard had announced a partnership with crypto lender Nexo to launch the world’s first “crypto-backed” payment card.
American payment card company American Express had also announced in 2021 to use crypto as a possible option to redeem reward points in the future. However, the company is now not seeing crypto as one of its priorities. With the crypto market spiraling downward as major high profile companies collapse, crypto’s mainstream plans seem clouded.
