Global payments giant Visa signaled its stronger, sustained interest in crypto, releasing a paper outlining how the firm could one day collaborate with the Ethereum network on automatic payments.
The paper, sparked by an internal company hackathon, details how Ethereum users could—with support from Visa—schedule auto-payments sent from self-custodial crypto wallets.
This capability is not yet possible on the Ethereum mainnet, but would be enabled by a popular Ethereum proposal called “Account Abstraction.”
“We want to have an opportunity to actively contribute to technical developments happening in the crypto ecosystem,” said Catherine Gu, Visa’s Head of Central Bank Digital Currency and Protocols.
“The best way to do that is learning by doing—actually getting deeper into Web3 infrastructures and blockchain protocols, areas I think are going to be really important for payments, said Gu.
“This technology is very nascent right now, but there could be something there down the road. A lot of research needs to be done around fundamental aspects important for payments, like security and scalability.”
“From a payments standpoint, most blockchain networks are not yet scalable enough to process transactions at a really high speed in a secure and trusted way.”
“It's very important to figure out what's the signal and what's the noise. We're taking a much longer-term perspective on this technology. It may have real utility, and that’s why we’re here: to invest more, to do research,” Gu said.

Visa TEASES Ethereum Collab! Aims to ‘Actively Contribute’ to Crypto Development. #Shorts
Global payments giant Visa signaled its stronger, sustained interest in crypto, releasing a paper outlining how the firm could one day collaborate ...
Welcome to the Bullet Point Bulletins Weekly Wrap-Up With Bruce Burke and Tedd Huff of Fintech Confidential.
This week we are discussing how Telegram is developing a crypto wallet, and a decentralized exchange. And we’ll be talking about how the Bitcoin family is moving its assets to self-custody, and how BlockFi declared bankruptcy!
And of course we’re taking a look at how Apple is blocking the Coinbase Wallet from sending NFT’s due to a gas fees, payment dispute. We're also talking about how Stripe is creating a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp for Web3 companies.
A special shout out to Tedd Huff of @Fintech Confidential for his support and interaction on this and many other projects.
We'll continue to do this wrap-up every week we are able. It's interesting to discuss these happenings with Tedd.

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance is making a move in the hardware wallet industry, with its venture capital arm investing in the cold wallet platform Ngrave.
Binance Labs has made a strategic investment in the Belgian hardware wallet firm Ngrave and will lead its upcoming Series A round.
Ngrave specializes in self-custody, providing a security suite comprising three major elements, including the connectionless hardware wallet Zero, key backup tool Graphene, and the Liquid mobile app.
Binance co-founder, and head of Binance Labs, Yi He, pinpointed that security remains one of the biggest challenges for crypto adoption. “Self-custodial wallets are one of the most secure methods for storing digital assets,” she said.
Binance Labs is excited to capitalize on the emerging hardware wallet sector and partner with Ngrave
to bring sophisticated wallet products to both retail and institutional users,” Investment Director Tyler Z added.
CZ himself admitted that centralized exchanges may no longer be necessary as investors would shift to self-custodial solutions.
The Binance CEO said. “If we can allow people to hold their own assets in their own custody securely and easily, in a way that 99% of the population can do it, centralized exchanges will not exist, or probably don’t need to exist.”
