The rollout comes amid a broader trend. Mastercard has last month unveiled end-to-end stablecoin capabilities as it moves deeper into the cryptocurrency economy, and partnered with OKX to launch a debit card with the exchange.
Similarly, crypto exchange Kraken teamed up with Mastercard to let its users in the UK and Europe spend their cryptocurrency at any merchant in the payments giant’s network.
Earlier this year, Mastercard also began supporting tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on its network through a partnership with Ondo Finance, which offers tokenized U.S. Treasury bills.
