Visa doubled down on the crypto strategy in 2021 and it seems that more new integrations are about to come. The company explores new ways to leverage the digital assets on the payment platform and the head of Visa’s department Cuy Sheffield said:

The corporation with the SDF, Visa, and Circle, is the first jump in the crypto space as SDF’s CEO Denelle Dixon said:

The trader known as Pentoshi took a long position and said that XLM’s rally went unnoticed after it managed to get out of the 680-range:
