The payments giant did not release exact numbers.\n\"We are doing a lot to create an ecosystem that makes crypto currency more usable and more like any other currency,\" Visa CFO Vasant Prabhu told CNBC. \"People are exploring ways in which they can use cryptocurrencies for things they would use normal currencies for.\" He added, \"There are lots of issues in terms of volatility, etcetera. But that's up to the owners of cryptocurrencies to manage and track.\"\nAccording to recent research from Visa rivalMastercard, 93% of North American consumers plan to use cryptocurrency or other emerging payment technology, such as biometrics, contactless, or QR code systems, in the next year. The study also showed that 75% of millennials would use crypto currency if they understood it better.\n\"We see a lot of volume on our [network] of people buying crypto currencies at these various regulated exchanges and as far as we can see that trend continues,\" Prabhu said.\nThis summer, Mastercard will launch a card with crypto exchange Gemini, co-founded by billionaires Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The card will allow consumers to earn cryptocurrency as a reward. However, cardholders will not be allowed to access their digital wallet on the site.\nVisa also announced Wednesday the FTX cryptocurrency platform, founded by billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, would be added to itsFintech Fast Track Program, focused in part on making cryptocurrency more practical for consumer and business spending.\nCircle, BlockFi, andCoinbase, whichwent public in Aprilon the Nasdaq, are current Visa partners that allow card holders to spend from their cryptocurrency wallet at more than 70 million merchants globally. Visa estimated crypto linked cards and other emerging payments including biometrics and QR code have the potential to disrupt the $18 trillion spent every year with cash and checks globally.\nBitcoin's market cap topped $1 trillion for the fist time in February and hit an all-time high near $65,000 per unit in April due to retail investor enthusiasm during the pandemic as a store of value and an inflation hedge. However, bitcoin has fallen roughly 45% since then — and last month, it plunged briefly below $29,000 where it started the year.\nPrahbu said Visa has no near term plans to add any cryptocurrency to its balance sheet likeTesla,MicroStrategyand other companies have done recently.\n\"We don't hold crypto currencies on our balance sheet today. We hold currencies on our balance sheet that we need to run our business. We hold currencies that we get paid in or we pay people in. That tends to be the dollar, euro, pound. So we don't have plans to hold crypto currency because it's not typically the way we get paid or the way we pay people,\" he said.\nVisa is set to report quarterly earnings on July 28.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":84,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":3,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
