#MastercardStablecoinCards Payments in stablecoins now available everywhere
Mastercard has announced a partnership with MoonPay to launch payment cards linked to stablecoins, allowing users to spend USDC and other digital currencies at over 150 million merchants worldwide. Transactions are automatically converted to fiat currency at the time of payment, providing a seamless experience for both consumers and merchants.
This initiative is based on the Iron infrastructure, acquired by MoonPay in March, and aims to facilitate faster and more intuitive payments for users and businesses. Mastercard virtual cards will be accessible through major crypto wallets, expanding the adoption of stablecoins in everyday payments.
With this move, Mastercard strengthens its commitment to integrating cryptocurrencies into the traditional financial system, offering innovative solutions for the digital economy.
