Visa Targets Real-World Assets Market in Crypto Markets News with New Tokenized Asset Platform
Visa's New Venture in Crypto Markets News
On Thursday, Visa launched the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) through a partnership with a Spanish bank. VTAP is a tool for banks to connect real-world assets (RWAs) to the crypto ecosystem. The RWA market is expanding, and Visa aims to benefit by plugging banks into this evolving sector.
VTAP's Early Stages
Visa announced its latest initiative via a press release, branding the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) as a bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and blockchain technology. A wide-release pilot with Ethereum is planned for early 2025.
Despite presenting VTAP as a new solution, its links emerged earlier this year when Visa partnered with Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) aiming for a modest rollout.
