#MastercardStablecoinCards

Mastercard has launched a strategic partnership with MoonPay to enable the use of stablecoins (such as USDC) in everyday payments via Mastercard cards. These cards allow users to spend their stablecoin balances, which are automatically converted to local currencies at the point of sale, providing a seamless experience at over 150 million points of sale worldwide.

This initiative relies on advanced infrastructure provided by the Iron platform, which MoonPay recently acquired, facilitating payment and cross-border financial transfers. Through this step, Mastercard aims to enhance the integration between digital currencies and traditional financial systems, contributing to accelerating innovation in the global payments sector.
