Mastercard to Offer Payments Card Offering for Crypto
Mastercard will be preparing to test a new feature where the company along with its partners will be converting major cryptocurrencies to standardized fiat currency. To do so, Mastercard will be registering cryptos such as stable coin, Bitcoin, and ethereum on their network so that when a user wants to conduct a crypto transaction from their card, they can do so without any further issue. This new feature will allow the banks and crypto companies to amplify their work operations and make cryptocurrency a lot more accessible than before. The company intends to enhance its work expertise and is preparing to launch this feature via partnering with leading crypto companies and platforms.
