“significant growth of digital tokens in the form of cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies…”
“The likelihood that transacting parties is on the same network decreases as the number…”
“of DLT networks platform increases, each with varying design characteristics…”
“Thus, it is crucial to facilitate payments that are universal across networks,..”
“scalable to massive loads, and highly available,” according to Visa.
