Speaking during an online event hosted by smart contracts platform Avalanche, Mastercard’s VP for new product development and innovation Harold Bossé said the integration of cryptocurrencies into existing systems would be key to helping them go mainstream.
"[Crypto] has to become invisible,” he said. “I keep saying that and I sound like a broken record, but it has to disappear in the background for a user who doesn't care — honestly, my mom doesn’t care if it’s [centralized finance] or DeFi.”
The executive said he expected growth in places where businesses can embed DeFi products into their existing offering.
Bossé also identified a lack of crypto knowledge at senior management levels, the cost and speed of blockchain, and regulatory issues as barriers to corporations adopting DeFi technologies.
Ava Labs president John Wu talks to Dan Roberts and Jeff Roberts about the meteoric rise of so-called "Ethereum killer" Avalanche (he hates that phrase), its utility and usability, AVAX token, tribalism in crypto, the SEC and regulation, and NFT backlash. Watch and make sure to subscribe to the gm podcast on Apple or Spotify.
The crypto industry has taken a battering in recent weeks due to the recent implosion of Terra and its twin tokens, UST and LUNA.
Bossé said that confidence in crypto would also be crucial for its mass adoption.
“No one will use digital assets on blockchains unless they are absolutely certain that this money is good money,” he said.
To get more financial institutions into the space, he added, the crypto community needs to break out of its bubble and convince demographics who aren’t currently interested in digital assets of their utility.
While discussing Avalanche’s subnets product, application-specific blockchain networks that lets developers and organizations create customized blockchains, Bossé said that businesses using blockchain solutions should strive to make them imperceptible to the user.
The Avalanche Summit in Barcelona kicked off this week amid what has already been a pretty stellar run for AVAX, the blockchain’s native token. AVAX is up 200% in the past year and 6% in the past month. It had jumped 26% last week as of Friday, but fell back sharply on Saturday along with the rest of the crypto market after a strong week. But the recent bullish price action in AVAX isn't just about a conference. The token has also enjoyed a boost thanks to continued chatter about the network’s l...
“The complexity of the technology has to disappear,” he said. “In the endgame, we should have these subnets being operated just like the internet is operated today.”
As for the price of Avalanche's native token, AVAX, it's had a tough week. The native token has fallen more than 14% over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap.
It is currently trading at $28.59.
A school in Scotland has said it will be the first in the UK to start accepting Bitcoin payments. Lomond School in the town of Helensburgh said that it made the choice to accept the cryptocurrency after a number of parents—both local and foreign—made the request, The Times reported. The private boarding school has a number of international students. To "manage and mitigate risk," the school said it would start accepting the biggest cryptocurrency in phases, and would convert digital coins rec...
BlackRock’s spot digital asset-focused funds generated net inflows for a fifth consecutive quarter, but the value of those assets tumbled by 9% as the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum slumped, the company said in its latest earnings release. As of March 31, the world’s largest asset manager held $50.3 billion worth in ETF digital assets, about $5 billion less than in the previous quarter, according to the release. Still, among asset managers, BlackRock remained the leader in inflows with the iShare...
Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have jointly filed a request to suspend their respective appeals as they “pursue a negotiated resolution” of their long-running case. As detailed in a filing submitted yesterday to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the two parties have already reached an agreement-in-principle, with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealing last month that the SEC would be dropping its appeal. Yesterday’s application represents the first of...
