April 28, 2025 | Purchase, New York

Mastercard has unveiled a comprehensive global solution for stablecoin payments, offering seamless end-to-end capabilities from digital wallets to merchant checkouts. This major advancement aims to make stablecoins as accessible and usable as traditional money across everyday commerce.

Through partnerships with leading crypto platforms like MetaMask, Binance, Crypto.com, and others, Mastercard is enabling wallet integration, card issuance, and global merchant acceptance. Consumers can spend stablecoins at over 150 million Mastercard-enabled locations and convert digital assets to fiat using Mastercard Move.

The initiative also supports merchant settlement in stablecoins such as USDC, thanks to collaborations with Nuvei, Circle, and Paxos. Merchants can now opt to receive payments in stablecoins, regardless of how customers choose to pay.

To address the challenges of cross-border remittances, Mastercard Crypto Credential allows users to send and receive digital assets securely using verified usernames. Partners like Wirex, Bit2Me, Lirium, and Coins.ph are already integrated into this system.

Additionally, Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network (MTN) is powering efficient, real-time settlement using tokenized assets, with financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase and Standard Chartered already connected.

“As stablecoins evolve into practical tools for commerce, Mastercard is making them easy to use and accept—unlocking global efficiency, programmability, and financial freedom,” said Jorn Lambert, Chief Product Officer at Mastercard.
