Mastercard and blockchain wallet operator MetaMask are working together to create an on-chain payment card that runs on blockchain technology. This payment solution is regarded as the inaugural decentralized Web3 payment solution with both parties having the goal of providing a seamless bitcoin transaction interface for daily transactions. The Mastercard/MetaMask blockchain cards will be issued by Baanx, which is expected to have a strong launch. This is in light of Mastercard’s intention to use its leading position in the global payments sector as well as MetaMask’s sizeable user base, which consists of over 30 million active wallets per month.
Mastercard, like Visa, has stepped up its efforts to investigate different use cases and form alliances in the larger Web3 and blockchain space. Mastercard’s agreement with MetaMask seems to offer a potential answer for a universally recognized cryptocurrency card that seamlessly serves all customers. This is despite it ending its relationship with Binance which resulted in Binance Card activities being stopped in some South American countries. Furthermore, the giant of the card network has launched a partner initiative to tackle early-stage design issues surrounding central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This is to address security and privacy issues when these currencies are distributed to the private sector. To create best practices for any future rollout of CBDCs, Mastercard has already enlisted several collaborators for this initiative, such as Consensys, Fireblocks, and Ripple. The company is now inviting additional partners to participate in a collaborative setting.
What to Expect From This Collaboration
Mastercard has shown its commitment to blockchain innovation through partnerships and services by incorporating blockchain and digital currency innovation into its Mastercard Engage System. Mastercard’s executive vice president of blockchain and digital assets, Raj Dhamodharan, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to jointly working with other businesses in the sector to make blockchain and cryptocurrency more accessible. This opens up new opportunities and promotes diversity in commerce and payments. The expanded Mastercard Engage infrastructure will let players within the digital asset system achieve their goals at scale while upholding the security and safety associated with the Mastercard brand.
