What legal trade-offs? I imagine Visa is willing to offer similar terms to what they give everyone else. As long as they make their per transaction profit, what else would they be concerned about (other than guaranteeing Coinbase pays them, but that's just contracts too).


Visa probably requires card issuers to follow AML/KYC best practices. That's why you're not going to see a Bitfinex or BitMEX Visa card.


Good point, I guess I had assumed all exchanges with US exposure already fell under KYC.
