Baanx's Infrastructure Crypto card programmes for integration 💥Apple´s decision to open NFC chips to third party apps implies stablecoins, NFTs, digital currencies to 1.5Bn phones. 1. Apple's Wallet and Apple Pay could leverage this technology. Now, crypto wallet apps can use it too 2. NFC capabilities and high-performance, low-fee blockchains like Solana, Avalanche etc., creates a pathway for frictionless, direct-to-merchant crypto payments. - Marc Baumann Summer of 2024 is going to be memorable. New digital economy is here! It was inevitable. Large financiers have always collaborated and funded new growth areas and new tech. Creating and maintaining crypto currencies, stablecoins, tokenisation is complex, (but then most of financial systems are complex). But what is becoming easier is access, availability and the option to choose. + Friction between TradFi and Crypto is turning in collaboration + Political narrative about crypto and blockchain is changing in the US. + Circle insists on US leading the US dollar and tech and not being led. + Ripple got a fairly clean ruling despite the hefty fine. No disgorgement, no recklessness. Instead Ripple is appreciated by BIS and Ripple has given speeches to IMF and Swiss National Bank. So, those who believe in TradFi vs Web3 may have a different opinion on finance and tech giants taking Web3 steps. But isn`t fluidity the true freedom, freedom from all -isms? 🚀 Meanwhile, DePIN sees 296% year-over-year growth in financing and total market value rising by 400% to $20 billion (Source: https://lnkd.in/dUcTNPnp) Helium, IoTex, Solana, peaq are all leading DePIN projects. Likely to see traditional companies set up nodes and validators eventually. #web3 #collaboration #innovation PS: Views are personal.

Bridging Web3 and Traditional Finance: Enabling Seamless Card Transactions with Self-Custody Wallets on the Mastercard Network 💎 MetaMask and Mastercard are teaming up to launch a crypto debit card. But it’s unlike any “crypto credit card” we’ve seen before. The card works like a typical debit card, but lets you spend straight from your MetaMask wallet. You control your crypto right up until you swipe. All transactions occur on Linea, an Ethereum layer-2 network, ensuring speed and efficiency. This is a big deal for a few reasons: 1. Easier on-ramp: Simplifies crypto spending for everyday txns 2. Financial inclusion: Potential to bank the unbanked globally 3. Industry convergence: TradFi & blockchain tech are merging fast
