help financial institutions issue and manage fiat-backed tokens on blockchain networks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The firm disclosed that the new solution is available on the <strong>Visa Developer Platform<\/strong>, allowing financial institutions to create and experiment with their own fiat-backed tokens using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/27681\/sandbox-software-testing\">sandbox environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fiat-backed tokens are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/23367\/digital-asset\">digital assets<\/a> tied to traditional currencies like the U.S. dollar or euro. A &#8220;sandbox&#8221; is a secure testing environment where financial institutions can try out new ideas and technologies without impacting real-world systems or assets.<\/p>\n<p>VTAP offers a number of benefits compared to traditional payment methods. By using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/introduction-to-blockchain\">blockchain technology<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/32499\/smart-contract\">smart contracts<\/a>, Visa enables banks to issue and transfer fiat-backed tokens quickly and securely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Visa has a global network of more than 15,000 financial institutions and helps facilitate seamless transactions of fiat currencies across more than 200 countries and territories,&#8221; Visa wrote in the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, Visa is applying its expertise in new technologies, such as smart contracts, to enable banks to issue and transfer fiat-backed tokens over blockchain networks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Visa revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/visa-tokenizing-assets-platform-banks\">Spanish bank BBVA is testing the VTAP solution<\/a> within a sandbox environment, exploring potential applications like issuance, transfer, and redemption, as well as interactions of the token with smart contracts.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"how_does_vtap_work\">How Does VTAP Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The main task of VTAP is to make testing and integrating fiat-backed tokens on the blockchain easier. To do this, it offers a managed sandbox environment, providing clients with the tools and support needed to prepare for real-world use without extensive technical expertise or resources.<\/p>\n<p>In the sandbox phase, Visa manages the underlying blockchain infrastructure, enabling clients to create, manage, and exchange fiat-backed tokens seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As VTAP moves to real-value phases, Visa expects to collaborate with Clients, taking into account Client requirements, applicable laws and regulations, and industry best practices,&#8221; Visa <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.visa.com\/capabilities\/visa-tokenized-asset-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\">said in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Access to VTAP is currently limited for approved clients. However, the approved clients receive access to VTAP&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/24407\/application-programming-interface-api\">APIs<\/a>, along with integration guides, testing tools, and supplementary materials to help them navigate the sandbox effectively and prepare for the launch.<\/p>\n<p>VTAP is essentially a gateway for businesses to explore blockchain technology with minimal risk and resources.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"rwa_tokenization_set_for_50x_expansion_by_2030\">RWA Tokenization Set for 50x Expansion by 2030<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Visa&#8217;s growing interest in the tokenization market comes as the industry is poised for significant ground.

If the market hits the median estimate of approximately $10 trillion, it would mark a 54-fold increase from its current valuation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The integration of traditional finance with blockchain technology is not just a trend, but a fundamental shift towards a more accessible, efficient, and dynamic financial ecosystem,&#8221; the report said.<\/p>\n<p>In an October 29 report, global consulting firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG) labeled RWA tokenization as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcg.com\/press\/29october2024-tokenized-funds-the-third-revolution-in-asset-management-decoded\" target=\"_blank\">the third revolution in asset management<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The firm projected that tokenized assets could make up 1% of all global mutual funds and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/exchange-traded-fund-etf\">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)<\/a> within seven years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We see a pattern of growing investor demand in the tokenized funds space,&#8221;
