#MastercardStablecoinCards Mastercard is making significant strides in integrating stablecoins into its global payment network. The latest development is a partnership with MoonPay, announced today, May 16, 2025. This collaboration will enable users to spend their stablecoin balances using Mastercard-branded cards at over 150 million merchant locations worldwide. The stablecoins will be automatically converted to fiat currency at the point of sale, streamlining the transaction process.

This initiative leverages the API-driven stablecoin infrastructure of Iron, which was acquired by MoonPay in March 2024. It aims to empower fintechs and enterprises to issue these Mastercard-branded cards, effectively turning crypto wallets into more versatile digital bank accounts for everyday spending and cross-border money transfers. Mastercard's ongoing strategy involves various partnerships, including collaborations with OKX and Nuvei, to build a comprehensive ecosystem for stablecoin use, enhancing accessibility and utility for both consumers and businesses
