Before you even get accustomed to the logic of the next bull market in Web3, traditional financial giants have quietly laid out the 'daily payment power' on the blockchain.

In May 2025, Mastercard partnered with MoonPay to launch a major collaboration:

Global Stablecoin Payment Card.

This card allows you to directly spend stablecoins like USDC at over 150 million merchants accepting Mastercard worldwide—no complicated withdrawals, no need to convert to fiat currency, assets on the chain can be 'instantly' converted to daily spending power.

🔍 What happened behind this?

1. Mastercard vs Visa: The on-chain war of global payment giants

Visa had previously tried USDC settlements on the Solana blockchain, and now Mastercard has also made its move, teaming up with MoonPay to expand compliant payment scenarios.

Traditional payment networks are testing stablecoins as a new 'clearing currency'.

2. What is MoonPay?

MoonPay is a Web3 payment infrastructure company that originally focused on being a 'crypto purchase gateway', but is now gradually shifting towards an 'on-chain payment terminal'.

What it is doing is making your stablecoins as easy to use as Apple Pay.
