That is, back in the early aughts, many of today’s dominant technology companies were either just starting out (Facebook), struggling to find their place (Amazon), or even on the verge of declaring bankruptcy (Netflix).

Then the world changed.

Everyone and their best friend started using technology platforms to do everything from shopping to working, and the likes of Facebook, Amazon, and Netflix redefined our personal and professional lives.

Along the way, tech stocks absolutely soared throughout the 2010s. During that decade, the Nasdaq-100 rose 370%, while the S&P 500 rose just 190%.

But now, it’s a new decade, and that means it’s time for a new investment theme: The global blockchain takeover.

That’s why legacy payments giant Visa is going all-in with blockchain technology.

The folks at the top of Visa aren’t dumb. They’re quite sharp actually – sharp enough that they know cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance are the future (and an existential threat to their business), so they are doing everything they can to embrace the Blockchain Revolution, not get wiped out by it.

Visa now has its R&D teams working around the clock on a blockchain interoperability hub to connect different blockchain networks through one single payment channel, allowing for the transfer of digital assets between different blockchains though a single exchange.

That’s a huge idea.

The lack of interoperability in the blockchain world is a huge barrier to entry for regular consumers. While tech-savvy folks are well-equipped and willing to jump from blockchain protocol to blockchain protocol and digital wallet to digital wallet, most folks are not – and therefore, solving this problem by making things interoperable through a single marketplace will reduce what we see as one of the biggest hurdles to mainstream adoption of cryptos.

Of course, that means it will also significantly accelerate the Blockchain Revolution.

Therefore, whatever company or project solves this problem will unlock significant economic value.

Visa hopes it’ll be the company to do just that – but it isn’t our favorite horse in this race.

Far from it.

Interoperability is one of those huge ideas that comes along every so often, and when it does, it offers huge opportunity. In this case, while NFTs and the metaverse are well-covered topics in the crypto universe, the idea of interoperability is not – and that’s why we believe trillion-dollar opportunities lie in this industry.
