Coinbase Introduces Instant Crypto Deposits with Visa Debit Cards

Coinbase and Visa introduced real-time crypto deposits
via Visa debit cards to offer instant access to digital currencies for US and
EU customers.

Instant Crypto Transfers

The collaboration between the two giant entities promises to
improve how people manage their cryptocurrency investments. With eligible
Visa debit cards, users can reportedly deposit funds into their Coinbase accounts
instantly, eliminating previous delays that slowed down transfers.

According to the official statement, the new feature enables crypto traders to buy, sell, or trade
crypto in real-time, significantly lowering the barriers to entry and making it
easier for newcomers to navigate the market.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Coinbase
to help service their customers’ money movement needs,” Yanilsa Gonzalez
Ore, the Head of Visa Direct, North America for Visa, mentioned.

“Providing real-time account funding using Visa
Direct and an eligible Visa debit card means that those Coinbase users with an
eligible Visa debit card know that they can take advantage of trading
opportunities day and night.”

According to Visa, the collaboration links the
cryptocurrency space with traditional financial services. It reportedly
allows Visa debit cardholders to integrate their cards with their Coinbase
accounts for immediate transfers.

Regulatory Clarity

While this partnership expands Coinbase’s reach in
both the US and the EU, regulatory frameworks in these regions play a
significant role, Coindesk reported. The European Union has been proactive in establishing
clearer regulations for the crypto industry, such as the recently adopted
Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation.

Recently, Coinbase and Tether introduced blockchain and
artificial intelligence tools aimed at enhancing privacy and autonomy in
decentralized space. According to the entities, the new tools seek to improve
how developers interact with blockchain technology by giving them more control
and privacy.

The new software also allows developers to create
peer-to-peer (P2P) AI applications useful across various devices, including
low-cost mobile phones and high-end servers. In a statement, Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, noted that the
SDK is highly modular and can support different models that customize AI
functions to various needs.

Besides that, all data and processes run on-device to
enhance by ensuring that all the aspects are decentralized and secure in the
P2P infrastructure.
