Mastercard to Expand Crypto Team With Two Senior Hires to Drive Blockchain Initiatives

Mastercard isn't just dipping toes—it's diving headfirst into crypto waters. The payments giant just greenlit two senior hires exclusively for blockchain expansion, signaling a full-throttle embrace of decentralized finance.

Why this matters: When traditional finance heavyweights start poaching crypto talent, the 'wild west' narrative crumbles. These hires aren't backroom developers—they're strategic chess moves in Mastercard's endgame to dominate blockchain payments.

The irony? Banks spent years dismissing crypto as a fad. Now they're scrambling to hire the very experts they mocked. Classic Wall Street—always late to the party but first in line for profits.
