# Ethereum 🤝 Visa | Weekly Recap *Author: Ryan Sean Adams* *Published: Apr 3, 2021* *Source: https://www.bankless.com/fr/ethereum-visa-weekly-recap-526* --- Dear Bankless Nation, Guys…we didn’t get [acquired by Wells Fargo](https://bankless.ghost.io/bankless-acquired-by-wells-fargo/). That was [me trying](https://twitter.com/TrustlessState/status/1377755825565880322?s=20) some April Fools humor. The banks can’t stop the bankless movement. *We’re just getting started.* ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/public/images/f1b78191-c00a-45ce-9fe6-3a55e8ac9654_500x274.jpg)Speaking of just getting started…this week we learned [Visa is just getting started](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210329005171/en/Visa-Becomes-First-Major-Payments-Network-to-Settle-Transactions-in-USD-Coin-USDC) on Ethereum. One of the largest payment networks in the world now using Ethereum to settle transactions. Think about that for a min—**Visa just became an Ethereum sidechain.** While they’ll start off slowly, a few transactions per day (*prob be worth millions each), *Visa is setting a precedent. Financial institutions are now experimenting with public blockchain networks. And their first step is exploring how they can leverage Ethereum’s block space to improve their processes. Here’s what they’ll realize: Ethereum is a 24/7, global, open, programmable settlement layer for the world. They can send and receive money to anyone, anywhere, anytime. They can [stream money](https://bankless.ghost.io/how-to-stream-money/) in real time. They can verify income and assets on the spot. They’re going to realize our entire financial system can be automated…this time without the banks. The best part? The more they adopt Ethereum the more [they pay to ETH holders.](https://bankless.ghost.io/visa-is-going-to-pay-eth-holders/) > [](https://twitter.com/RyanSAdams/status/1376684337479946243) This has been our thesis for years. And we’re seeing it happen in real-time every week. We’re front-running the institutions.
