Spend Stablecoins Like Cash
Mastercard and MoonPay just teamed up to let you spend stablecoins like cash — at over 150 million stores worldwide. Yep, that corner coffee shop? Your stablecoins might work there soon.
Here’s what’s happening:
- Mastercard cards will now be linked to your stablecoin balance
- At checkout, your crypto gets auto-converted to fiat
- No sketchy 3rd-party apps. Just swipe, tap, done.
The magic behind this? MoonPay’s new API system (from their Iron acquisition), turning your crypto wallet into a full-on digital bank account.
This is BIG for:
🧑💻 Freelancers getting paid globally
🌎 Cross-border merchants
💼 Fintechs offering crypto-native cards
👀 The 120M+ wallets already holding stablecoins
MoonPay CEO summed it up: “We’re powering a new era of stablecoin payments — and making them actually usable.”
Let’s be real: this isn’t some future vision — it’s rolling out now. One more step in making crypto actually practical.
