Mastercard has unveiled a new Crypto Partner Program uniting more than 85 companies from the blockchain, fintech, and banking sectors to integrate digital assets into everyday payments. The initiative focuses on practical applications like cross-border transfers and business-to-business payments. Executives describe it as a bridge between on-chain innovation and traditional financial infrastructure.
MoonPay has introduced a virtual debit Mastercard that enables AI agents to spend stablecoins directly from self-custodied wallets at any online merchant accepting Mastercard. The card uses real-time crypto-to-fiat conversion at checkout, without requiring users to preload funds or move assets offchain. It is available to users in the UK and Latin America through MoonPay’s CLI and agent workflows.
