Payments titan Visa ( NYSE: V ) is putting an end to its global card agreements with beleaguered cryptocurrency exchange FTX, according to a recent report by Reuters, citing a company spokesperson. In early October, Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX formed an alliance with Visa ( V ) to offer crypto-linked debit cards across 40 countries.
