#MastercardStablecoinCards

Mastercard has launched global stablecoin cards in partnership with MoonPay, enabling users to spend stablecoins like USDC at over 150 million merchants worldwide-just as easily as using a traditional debit or credit card. These Mastercard-branded cards are linked directly to users’ stablecoin balances in their crypto wallets. When a purchase is made, the stablecoins are instantly converted to local fiat currency at the point of sale, so merchants receive regular money without any extra steps.

The initiative leverages Iron’s API-driven stablecoin infrastructure, acquired by MoonPay in March 2025, to support seamless global payments, cross-border transfers, and payouts to gig workers, contractors, and creators. Businesses and fintechs can issue these cards, turning crypto wallets into digital bank accounts for both consumers and enterprises. This move signals a major step in merging crypto and traditional finance, making stablecoin payments intuitive, secure, and globally accessible
