In a recent statement, the CEO of Fun, a company focused on crypto payment infrastructure, argued that the current methods of moving assets into and out of the crypto ecosystem—specifically on-ramps and bridges—are temporary solutions. According to the CEO, these tools will eventually disappear as the industry moves toward a model where payments are 'invisible.'

This perspective suggests that the current friction associated with crypto transactions, such as manually bridging assets between different blockchains or using centralized exchanges to convert fiat currency, is a barrier to mass adoption. The vision presented is one where the underlying blockchain technology remains active but hidden from the user experience, similar to how modern banking apps process transactions without the user needing to understand the underlying settlement layers.

While the report highlights this shift as an inevitable evolution of the technology, it does not detail the specific technical or regulatory hurdles that would need to be cleared to achieve this level of integration. The statement reflects a broader industry trend toward 'account abstraction' and simplified user interfaces, which aim to make crypto wallets function more like traditional digital payment platforms. The report does not provide counterarguments from critics who might argue that removing these bridges could lead to increased centralization or security risks, nor does it address the potential for regulatory pushback against invisible, automated payment flows.
