Visa Launched New NFT-Focused Program For Crypto Entrepreneurs

There are all kinds of exciting moves taking place in the crypto space these days and the latest ones involve payments giant Visa. The global credit card company launches a new crypto program that will be able to help content creators and entrepreneurs grow small businesses with NFTs.

A new company blog post notes that since the NFTs authenticate the ownership of digital media and collectibles as well, they can help small and micro businesses expand and generate more revenue.

Cuy Sheffield, head of Visa’s crypto department stated the following:

“NFTs have the potential to become a powerful accelerator for the creator economy. We’ve been studying the NFT ecosystem and its potential impacts on the future of commerce, retail, and social media.”

The same notes say the following:

“Through the Visa Creator Program, we want to help this new breed of small and micro businesses tap into new mediums for digital commerce.”

It’s also important to note the fact that the Visa Creator Program is intended for business owners who want to deepen their knowledge of NFT-related technology and commerce.

The target is to integrate them into their business models, whether they are brand new to the world of digital assets or seasoned veterans.
