#MastercardStablecoinCards Mastercard is expanding its crypto initiatives by partnering with MoonPay to introduce stablecoin-enabled payment cards. This collaboration allows users to spend stablecoins like USDC at over 150 million merchants worldwide, with transactions automatically converted to local currencies at the point of sale.  

The integration utilizes infrastructure from Iron, a stablecoin platform acquired by MoonPay in March 2025, enabling businesses and fintechs to issue Mastercard-branded cards linked to users’ stablecoin balances. This development aims to streamline cross-border payments and enhance financial inclusion by allowing gig workers, contractors, and creators to receive and spend stablecoin payouts seamlessly. 

This move is part of Mastercard’s broader strategy to bridge traditional finance with digital assets, following previous partnerships with companies like OKX and Nuvei. By integrating stablecoin payments into its global network, Mastercard is positioning itself at the forefront of the evolving digital payment landscape.
