According to him, securing a partnership with Visa and becoming a principal member of the world’s forerunner in digital payment affirms Crypto.com’s determination to increase the adoption of cryptocurrency globally.

Via his official Twitter account, Marszalek further noted that Crypto.com’s collaboration with global payment giant Visa was a huge win for the entire crypto industry and the crypto exchange.

“Today cryptocurrency space has a little of 100 [million] users globally. Visa network has over 3.3 [billion] cards in use. An enormous opportunity to release new products together that will get us closer to our mission: cryptocurrency in every wallet,” he tweeted.

Crypto.com Lending Service – ‘Spending Power’

In addition to the new partnership, Crypto.com has also revealed plans to roll out a first-of-its-kind lending service called “Spending Power.”

Spending Power will involve the crypto exchange providing low-interest rates and flexible repayment options for fiat loans to cardholders with crypto in their wallets to serve as collateral via the Crypto.com Visa Card.

According to the announcement, Crypto.com cardholders will be able to access crypto in their digital assets wallet as collateral for a loan and instantly spend fiat anywhere Visa is accepted.

Marszalek, while expressing his delight with the new lending initiative, said, “I’m also excited to deepen our relationship with our customers via direct-issuance of cards around the world and roll-out Spending Power — allowing them to access the value of their crypto today.”
