Digging into potential directions Visa will go with it's exploration of blockchain tech.
So this is referencing the article here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgertech/comments/3gq6hl/visa_to_start_research_on_blockchain_technology/
Some interesting points from the article:
Two companies mentioned as being possible partners with Visa's Innovation Dept:
both headquartered in India.
A quick search of Infosys points to them acquiring the startup Panaya, Inc just a few months ago. Apparently Panaya's former Business Development Executive is now an International Sales manager at Spondoolies Tech, a cryptocurrency hardware firm.

So there is actually a connection from Visa to crypto. It's weak, but a start. Anything that hints at the angle these big co's are coming from is interesting to me. Now time to do anything else but internet.
