Visa launches NFT program to support creators
Visa announced that it is working with NFT artist Micah Johnson to develop a program that will enable creators to understand the NFT industry better and use various public blockchain networks to develop and sell their digital works.
VISA sees Micah Johnson as an example of the creator economy
Visa announced the news in a press release Wednesday. The company said it would connect creators with its network of payment partners, which will benefit the former by expanding the reach of its audience and boosting business growth. In the latest announcement, the company said it is going to select a group of creators through an open application process to form Visa's inaugural class. The U.S. company will sponsor the group and provide advisory services.The company uses Micah Johnson, a retired baseball player, as an example of the success of the creator economy. Johnson is the creator of "Aku," a young African-American boy who wears a large space helmet and dreams of becoming an astronaut. According to VISA, Micah has a community of thousands of followers who collect his artwork. The NFT character was first released in February 2021 and sold over $2 million worth of tokens within 24 hours. Aku later became the first NFT figure to be optioned for TV and a movie.
VISA is not the only company entering the NFT space
The latest development comes nearly two months after Visa made its first NFT purchase in August. The financial services giant paid 49.5 ETH for a CryptoPunk NFT, which was valued at $160,000 at the time. However, VISA is not the only company recognizing the potential of NFTs, as the list of companies joining the NFT industry is long. In September, video-sharing platform TikTok announced the launch of its NFT collection, which includes videos from influential artists such as Lil Nas X, Brittany Broski, and Rudy Willingham.Crypto exchanges are also getting into the NFT industry and have begun to launch NFT marketplaces. For example, FTX US announced the release of its Solana-based NFT marketplace, which will later expand to Ethereum-based NFTs, and Coinbase responded by opening its waiting list for a cross-chain NFT marketplace. Users made more than one million signups on the crypto exchange's NFT waiting list the first day it opened.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
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.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
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.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
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.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
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.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
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.
How often is content updated?
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.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
