Casa helps in securing your Bitcoin and recently announced a new public API to empower new-age Bitcoin-driven financial solutions and those would enable enterprises, and investors to integrate multisignature wallets inside their financial services and products.

Nick Neuman, Co-Founder and CEO, Casa, stated, “Bitcoin and traditional financial services have a shared destiny: they are increasingly converging, and we’re seeing hugely increased demand for solutions that tie the two ecosystems together. At Casa, we’ve always believed private key technology is about much more than just protecting your bitcoin; it should be the way you secure anything valuable and sensitive — from your money to your digital identity.”

This API allows Bitcoin users to validate their wallets in third party services at the same time while also controlling the keys of their wallets. Casa API has multiple features that include flawlessly organizing retirement investments, loan approval, and automatically adding Bitcoin to the Casa account.

Every new service will be safeguarded by multisig technology of Casa that helps users protect their keys of bitcoin by ascertaining that the security is easily available.

Ryan Radloff, CEO, Choice, commented, “Bitcoin was designed so users could hold the keys to their financial future, and Choice and Casa have worked for hand in hand for the last two years, making that vision a reality. With the launch of the Casa API, we will be able to go to the next step and give our customers even more visibility into the bitcoin they hold as part of their long-term financial plan. We’re excited to leverage the API to make the process seamless, from generating a new keyset to viewing your multi-sig wallet balance in real-time, from within your retirement account – this will be a bold leap forward for managing bitcoin as part of your long-term portfolio.”

Visa and Carbonplace Come Together for Carbon Credit Transfer

Visa, the global payments technology organization, has teamed up with Carbonplace, a young carbon credit settlement platform, for the pilot transfer of carbon credits via the Visa payment system. Carbonplace increases the delivery of quality carbon credit projects and develops tools to help customers manage climate challenges.

The carbon credit transfer that included Visa purchasing Verra-certified from Sustainable Carbon, brings a major encouragement to carbon markets. It shows the ability of the unique settlement technology of Carbonplace to improve the efficiency, speed, and security needed to support the increasing demand for voluntary carbon credits. The initiative would ensure private sector capital is being used for global climate improvement as well.

Charlotte Hogg, CEO, Visa Europe, commented, “Visa is committed to supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy and creating sustainable business solutions for our clients, which will help them meet their net-zero commitments. We’re excited about the potential for this voluntary carbon market to leverage our capabilities and help to deliver on that commitment, and we’re proud to support Carbonplace through this first pilot purchase of fully certified carbon credits in this market.”

National Australia Bank (NAB) and Itaú Unibanco, two of the founding banks of
Carbonplace, helped the transfer of carbon credits on behalf of Visa and Sustainable Carbon, respectively. It emphasized how the companies behind Carbonplace can collaboratively empower their infrastructure, which involves anti-money laundering processes and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures, to find some of the issues that have paused the advancement of the voluntary carbon market (VCM). This new partnership is part of the global aspirations of Visa to become a climate-positive organization via new alliances and initiatives.

David Gall, Corporate and Institutional Banking, NAB Group Executive, stated, “Climate action is everyone’s job, including NAB’s. Carbonplace is creating new opportunities to help our customers as they take action to reduce their emissions and achieve their own targets. This successful pilot transaction with Visa is a significant step towards being able to help more of our customers tackle existing barriers and make carbon credits more accessible to everyone.”
