Visa and World Network: The Unlikely Duo Merging Crypto Wallets and Card Payments!

In a twist that could only be described as a plot twist worthy of a particularly imaginative novel, Sam Altman’s World Network is reportedly having a chinwag with Visa. Yes, that Visa—the one that makes your wallet feel heavier and your bank account feel lighter. According to a source who shall remain nameless (because, let’s face it, who wants to be associated with this?), they’re discussing the integration of stablecoin payment capabilities into a self-custody crypto wallet. Because nothing says “trust me” like keeping your digital coins in a wallet that sounds like it was designed by a particularly optimistic squirrel. 🐿️

This collaboration aims to sprinkle a bit of Visa card magic into World Network wallets, allowing users to conduct stablecoin transactions with merchants across Visa’s vast empire. “The plan is to build up a whole connected wallet strategy,” the source explained, “so that you can trade in all kinds of things, from FX to crypto, load to wallet, send to wallet, spend from card. Basically, we’re turning World Wallet into a mini bank account for anyone who wants it.” Because who wouldn’t want a mini bank account that fits in your pocket? It’s like a piggy bank, but with more existential dread! 🐷💰

And in a delightful twist of fate, the network’s native crypto asset, worldcoin (WLD), decided to jump 10% higher on this news. Perhaps it’s just as surprised as the rest of us! 🎉
