Visa has informed participants in the payment industry that the "digital goods media" merchant category code used by Crossmint for processing Meme coin transactions is not applicable for Meme coin purchases.

In the future, purchases of Meme coins will need to be processed as cryptocurrency transactions and will be subject to Visa's corresponding rules and restrictions.
