Visa CEO announces support for Bitcoin
During a Fortune’s Leadership Next podcast, Visa CEO Al Kelly announced the company’s intention to support Bitcoin payments. The plan is to make it possible to buy Bitcoin using Visa credentials and work with Bitcoin wallets to allow this cryptocurrency to be converted into a regular currency, the type called fiat in jargon, to be used wherever a Visa credit card is accepted. Al Kelly’s statements come a few weeks after an announcement by Mastercard that it intends to include cryptocurrencies in its payment network.
