Cryptocurrency debit card company Baanx has entered into partnership with Visa to roll out stablecoin payment cards connected to self-custody wallets, beginning in the United States with Circle's USDC dollar-pegged token, the firms said.
The Visa cards allow customers to spend USDC directly out of their crypto $BNB wallets, through the use of smart contracts to transfer a balance of a stablecoin on card authorization by the consumer in real time to Baanx, which exchanges the balance in fiat for payment, stated a Wednesday press release.
Enabling individuals to hold and spend their money on-chain with the assistance of large card networks such as Visa and Mastercard is a rapidly expanding segment in crypto. Baanx, a crypto debit card specialist company, is also collaborating with Mastercard on a card based on MetaMask wallets. 
The payment space for stablecoins is also getting hotter as Circle recently broke news about its own payments network initially targeting cross-border payments and remittances.
Baanx's Visa cards tied to stablecoins guarantee a global reach with inexpensive cross border payments in the mix, the release states.
Access to stable currency $BTC is a luxury for much of the world. We're providing people with the opportunity to hold and spend USD-backed stablecoins easily — in real-time, self-custody fashion — everywhere Visa is accepted. This is the future of finance," said Simon Jones, chief commercial officer at Baanx in a statement.
We know the payments ecosystem is still in the early innings of stablecoin adoption, but real-world utility is coming to the forefront, and we’re excited for what’s next,” said Rubail Birwadker, Visa’s head of growth products and partnerships in a statement.#EthereumSecurityInitiative #MastercardStablecoinCards

#MastercardStablecoinCards هذه المبادرة من Mastercard وشراكتها مع MoonPay تمثل تطورًا مهمًا في مجال المدفوعات الرقمية، حيث تتيح للمستخدمين إمكانية إنفاق العملات المستقرة بشكل مباشر وسلس في العديد من المتاجر حول العالم. من خلال تحويل العملات المستقرة إلى العملات المحلية تلقائيًا، تتميز هذه البطاقات بسهولة الاستخدام والقبول الواسع، مما يقلل من الحواجز أمام تبني العملات الرقمية في الحياة اليومية.

مزايا هذه الخطوة عديدة، فهي تعزز من فهم الجمهور العام للعملات الرقمية وتزيد من مرونتها، خصوصًا بالنسبة للأعمال الصغيرة والمتوسطة التي يمكنها قبول المدفوعات بهذه العملات بشكل أكثر سهولة. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فإن تنويع المحافظ وتضمين العملات المستقرة يُعد خطوة استراتيجية جيدة للتحوط من التقلبات السوقية.

أما بخصوص تأثيرها على المجتمع، فمن المتوقع أن تسرع هذه المبادرة من عملية الاعتياد على استخدام العملات الرقمية، وخصوصًا العملات المستقرة التي تعتبر حل وسط بين الأصول الرقمية والعملات التقليدية، إذ توفر استقرارًا نسبيًا وسهولة في التعامل.

من ناحية أخرى، من المهم مراقبة التطورات التنظيمية المتعلقة بهذه العملات، لضمان الامتثال للقوانين وحماية المستخدمين. يُعتبر طرح مثل هذه المبادرات إشارات إيجابية لجهود الشركات الكبرى لتعزيز التبني ولكنها تتطلب أيضًا وعيًا ومسؤولية من المستخدمين حول استراتيجيات الاستثمار والاستخدام.

في النهاية، أرى أن خطوة Mastercard ستُسهم بشكل كبير في دفع حدود الاعتماد اليومي للعملات الرقمية، وقد تفتح الأبواب بشكل أوسع لتبنيها كوسيلة دفع معتادة في حياتنا.
