#MastercardStablecoinCards Mastercard and MoonPay have partnered to drive global payments with stablecoins. This collaboration will enable consumers and businesses to send and receive payments in stablecoins, leveraging Mastercard's network that spans over 150 million merchants.

Thanks to this alliance, fintech companies and financial institutions will be able to issue Mastercard-branded cards linked to stablecoin wallets. Users will thus be able to spend their stablecoins in real-time, as the conversion to local currency will be done automatically at the point of sale.

This initiative is supported by Iron's technology, a stablecoin infrastructure platform recently acquired by MoonPay. This system is expected to facilitate cross-border payments, payments to freelancers and content creators, as well as benefit unbanked populations.
