Mastercard & Circle Upgrade Partnership

Mastercard and Circle are expanding their collaboration to enable $USDC and EURC stablecoin payments for merchants across Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This allows instant, compliant cross-border transactions via Mastercard’s network.

Fully backed and audited, these stablecoins aim to cut costs and drive commerce in crypto-heavy regions like MENA, where on-chain value reached $389.8B between 2022–2023. This partnership proves that blockchain has real-world utility, merging crypto with traditional finance for tangible results. 🔥
