Mastercard just moved. Is this the tipping point for crypto payments?
Stablecoins are no longer just DeFi fuel — they’re knocking on the door of real-world finance. Mastercard teaming up with MoonPay to enable USDC payments across 150M merchants isn’t just another headline — it’s a seismic shift.
Why? Because it bridges TradFi infrastructure with Web3 utility. We’re not talking about speculative coins here. USDC, USDT, even PYUSD — they’re programmable dollars ready for prime time. And Mastercard’s network is the global rails.
This is also a shot across Visa’s bow. The race to dominate crypto payments is heating up fast. The next battlefield? Everyday commerce.
If you’re still holding stablecoins in cold wallets, ask yourself — what happens when they become as spendable as fiat?
The real flippening might not be ETH over BTC — but crypto over SWIFT.
