Focus on creating an open protocol that can integrate various payment systems to improve user experience.
Why this works now
Visa's new cross-border payment framework allows for interoperability between different payment networks, positioning IntraLedger to capitalize on the growing demand for efficient digital transactions. The founder could generate initial revenue by integrating IntraLedger into the Shopify App Store, targeting merchants looking for streamlined payment solutions. A key risk involves regulatory compliance, as navigating the complex landscape of international payment regulations may require significant resources and time before achieving full operational capability.
