#MastercardStablecoinCards

Mastercard is intensifying its foray into the world of stablecoins. Recently, it partnered with MoonPay to launch stablecoin cards globally. These cards will allow users to make payments with their stablecoins, such as USDC, at over 150 million merchants that accept Mastercard worldwide.

This initiative aims to simplify the use of digital assets in everyday transactions by converting stablecoins to local currency at the point of sale. Additionally, Mastercard has integrated with Kima to facilitate prepaid card top-ups using stablecoins directly from self-custody wallets. These moves underscore Mastercard's growing interest in integrating stablecoins into its global payment infrastructure, seeking to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
