The initiative was dubbed the Universal Payment Channel (UPC).</p><p>The project&#39;s goal was to create a &#34;network of networks&#34; for CBDCs and private stablecoins to transfer through different payment methods. However, Visa has not released an update on the UPC in almost a year.</p><p>More recently, on December 20, 2022, the payment giant announced a proposal to allow automated bills to be paid out of a user&#39;s Ethereum-powered wallet. Visa has also recently launched various &#34;zero fees&#34; cryptocurrency debit cards.

We have suffered no credit losses as a result of these failures.”</p><p>Meanwhile, recent reports reveal that Visa&#39;s current CEO will be stepping down soon. As per reports, the new CEO, Ryan McInerney, will take over on Feb. 1, while Kelly will stay as executive chairman.</p><p><strong>What do you think about the Visa CEO&#39;s opinions on emerging technologies like stablecoins and CBDCs?
