MoonPay Partners With Mastercard to Unleash Stablecoin Payments—Bankers Start Sweating

Another brick in the wall of traditional finance crumbles as MoonPay’s new Mastercard collab lets users spend stablecoins like cash. No more swapping to fiat—just straight-up crypto commerce.

The Fine Print They Hope You’ll Ignore

Mastercard’s move isn’t altruistic—it’s a survival play. With stablecoin transaction volumes eating their lunch, they’ve opted to ’join ’em’ rather than ’beat ’em.’ Classic finance move: if you can’t stop decentralization, slap your brand on it and pray for revenue.

Why This Actually Matters

Real-world crypto utility just leveled up. We’re talking gas bills, groceries, even your overpriced artisanal coffee—all payable in USDC while Visa watches from the sidelines. The irony? Banks will still charge you a ’convenience fee’ for the privilege.
