Before you even get accustomed to the logic of the next bull market in Web3, traditional financial giants have quietly begun to establish their 'everyday payment power' on the blockchain.

In May 2025, Mastercard and MoonPay jointly launched a significant collaboration:

Global Stablecoin Payment Card.

This card allows you to directly spend stablecoins like USDC at over 150 million merchants that accept Mastercard globally—without the cumbersome process of withdrawing coins or converting to fiat currency, blockchain assets can be 'instantly' transformed into everyday spending power.

🔍 What’s happening behind this?

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

Visa has previously attempted USDC settlements on the Solana blockchain, and now Mastercard also strikes back, partnering with MoonPay to expand compliant payment scenarios.

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

2. What is MoonPay?

MoonPay is a Web3 payment infrastructure company, originally focused on being the 'entry point for buying cryptocurrencies', but is now gradually shifting towards 'on-chain payment terminals'.

What it is working on is: making your stablecoins as easy to use as Apple Pay.
