Visa hopes crypto advisory can drive mainstream adoption

The payments processor said that its crypto consulting practice, housed in its consulting and analytics division, will advise financial institutions, retailers, and other businesses on everything from implementing crypto capabilities to researching non-fungible tokens. Visa's consulting division has about 700 employees, though the company did not disclose how many will be in the crypto department. Visa also named U.S. bank UMB as a client already using its crypto advisory services.

Visa's partnerships with crypto platforms have doubled in the last 18 months. The company is also developing products targeting stablecoins and bought a CryptoPunk NFT in August to announce that it will explore the NFT space. Visa hopes its crypto advisory can help drive mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

Visa and its rivals see crypto as an opportunity

One reason for the growing interest could be the recent study the company released on Wednesday. According to the study, 94% of people now have some knowledge of cryptocurrencies, while nearly a third have used them as a means of investment or exchange. More than 6,000 people worldwide were surveyed for the study. But Visa is not the only payment processor looking to get into cryptocurrencies. Visa recently invested in blockchain compliance company TRM Analytics by participating in its $60 million Series B funding round, while American Express and Citi also participated in the funding round.

Mastercard is not lagging behind either, partnering with Digital Asset Exchange Bakkt in October to enable partner merchants, banks, and fintech companies to accept payments in cryptocurrencies. More recently Mastercard announced that it has partnered with cryptocurrency platforms Amber Group, Bitkub, and CoinJar to launch crypto payment cards in the Asia-Pacific region. It seems like the adoption of cryptocurrencies over the past year has been hard for most businesses to ignore & they will likely continue to explore the possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
