Chainlink, the operator of a decentralized oracle network, has teamed up with Mastercard to enable holders of three billion cards to directly purchase cryptocurrency. The new tool is primarily aimed at those who have not previously dealt with Web3 and can significantly accelerate the mass adoption of digital assets.
The integration became possible thanks to partnerships with several Web3 companies, including Shift4 Payments, Swapper Finance, XSwap, and ZeroHash. It is ZeroHash that provides on-chain infrastructure and liquidity, allowing users to conveniently exchange fiat funds for cryptocurrency.
The current version of the Swapper Finance application is non-custodial and built on account abstraction technology. This gives users a combination of convenience, flexibility, and control. From the very beginning, we have created the product not only for crypto enthusiasts but for a wider audience,” said Chainlink Labs.
Mastercard has been actively developing crypto products for the past two years. In 2024 and 2025, the company introduced a range of solutions: from cryptocurrency-supported cards to self-custodial storage services. In April, it launched a debit crypto card for users in the UK and Europe together with the Kraken exchange, and also announced a joint card with the MetaMask wallet. In February, Mastercard reported that it had already tokenized 30% of all its transactions for 2024.
