Venmo and Cash use push-to-debit, which is instant, and fall back on ACH only if the bank you use doesn’t support it. There’s your common unified protocol.

@beaner. Come on. Where will you get your Crypto from if you don’t have a bank account and debit card?

The common protocol is that they both link to your bank account (“wallet”).

How is that a common unified protocol? I can't send between the apps.

Additionally, I need a debit card or bank account to use them at all. With crypto, you don't.
