This partnership is expected to allow cryptocurrency holders across 145 countries to easily sell their cryptocurrency assets for the traditional fiat currency using Visa Direct. The Visa Direct network has become accessible to all digital wallets that use Transak’s facility to purchase or sell any cryptocurrency.
The supported wallets are more than 350 in number, including Ledger, MetaMask, and TrustWallet. Transak CEO affirmed earlier the seamless nature of the new product that will spring up in the cause of this new partnership.

Listing the features, both managements, in a joint statement, says that the integration of Transak with Visa Direct creates new opportunities for integrating cryptocurrencies into routine financial operations, such as sending money to friends and relatives or making purchases.

Through its adoption of blockchain and stablecoin technology, Visa is establishing itself as a major participant in the continuous change of the financial scene. Transak, in a separate statement says that the partnership with Visa indicates the company’s dedication to offering cutting-edge solutions that satisfy customers’ shifting wants and needs in a dynamic financial environment.
Last year, Visa CEO Ryan McInerney argued that there’s a promising future for both central bank digital currencies and stablecoins. In his statement, co-founder and CEO of Transak, Sami Start, said that the company won’t have to pay much attention regarding compliance or battle with fraud cases because of the partnership between Visa and Transak, which has helped them cover up to 40 different cryptocurrency assets.
The partnership is designed so that users can choose to spend their fiat currency at more than 130 million merchant outlets worldwide. Meanwhile, the recent collaboration is expected to solve the age-long problem affecting general cryptocurrency adoption.
