Mastercard and MoonPay have announced a new global
partnership. The goal is to support stablecoin payments across Mastercard’s
network. The companies plan to let businesses and consumers pay or receive
payments in stablecoins.

According to the announcement, financial firms and fintech
companies will be able to issue Mastercard-branded cards. These cards will
connect to users’ stablecoin wallets. Cardholders can then spend their
stablecoins in real time, Crypto.news reported.

Stablecoins Convert Instantly at Mastercard Merchants

At the point of sale, the stablecoins will be automatically
converted to local currency. Payments will be accepted at over 150 million
locations that support Mastercard worldwide.

The partnership uses technology from Iron, a stablecoin
infrastructure platform recently acquired by MoonPay. Iron enables crypto
wallets to act like digital bank accounts. It supports fast and efficient
stablecoin transfers. These features can be used for international payments,
disbursements, and business transactions.

System Aids Payments for Gig Workers

The companies said this system will help businesses send
payments to gig workers, freelancers, and content creators. They also expect it
to benefit people in underbanked areas and regions where remittance fees are
high.

MoonPay’s platform connects with more than 500 crypto
services. It reaches over 100 million users. Around 20 million wallets
currently carry out stablecoin transactions each month. In total, 120 million
wallets hold stablecoin balances.

Tokenization and Biometrics Enhance Security

Meanwhile, Mastercard
plans to transform online shopping by 2030
by replacing physical card
numbers and passwords with biometric authentication. This technology is
currently being tested in key markets and is expected to become widespread
soon.

The company aims to combine tokenization with biometrics to
improve security and convenience during online checkouts. Mastercard notes that
online fraud is higher than in-store, partly due to exposed card details.
