What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

Visa to Help Banks Roll Out Bitcoin Services


CoinDesk   -  4 years ago

 

Visa announced a suite of APIs (application programming interfaces) that banks can use to offer bitcoin-related services, including buying and selling bitcoin, and related visa-card services.


Visa's crypto lead, Cuy Sheffield, explained to CoinDesk:

This is shifting to the next phase of Visa’s strategy where we’re looking at how Visa can also be a bridge between the thousands of financial institutions … and help them tap into the growing world of crypto assets and blockchain networks. We’re excited to see what early tests and consumer engagement look like for things like dollar-cost averaging to buy bitcoin or for things like earning bitcoin back as rewards.


Visa is using institutional crypto-services firm Anchorage to underpin its offerings. Anchorage made headlines just last month for becoming the first OCC-approved national crypto bank.

tldr

  • Visa has previously been luke warm to bitcoin, at best.
  • This is another example of mainstream players significantly warming up to bitcoin over the past year.
  • The institutional plumbing for bitcoin has dramatically improved in the past 2-3years, and this is a clear example of one of the many downstream effects.
