    Visa CEO: We’ll let you spend crypto at 70 million merchants

    Al Kelly said Visa wants to be an intermediary between crypto holders and merchants—the role Satoshi Nakamoto sought to eliminate with Bitcoin

    “We’re trying to do two things,” Kelly said. “One is to enable the purchase of bitcoin on Visa credentials.” The second, he added, is “working with bitcoin wallets to allow the bitcoin to be translated into a fiat currency” that can be immediately “used at any of the 70 million places around the world where Visa is accepted.”
