Mastercard Doubles Down on Crypto: Two Key Hires to Supercharge Blockchain Strategy
Mastercard Doubles Down on Crypto: Two Key Hires to Supercharge Blockchain Strategy

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 it matters: When traditional finance heavyweights start poaching crypto talent, the 'fad' narrative crumbles. These recruits will likely spearhead everything from CBDC integrations to NFT payment rails—because even legacy players know on-chain is the future.
The cynical take: Nothing makes banks believe in blockchain faster than seeing transaction fees eat their lunch. Mastercard's move? A hedge against irrelevance—with a side of opportunistic FOMO.
