Mastercard is integrating a new stablecoin.

The company is integrating support for $OUSD, the new stablecoin from @openstandard, through BVNK, its payments infrastructure.

Businesses will be able to use $OUSD to make payments and settlements without having to change their existing systems.

They’ll also be able to issue and redeem $OUSD 1:1 for dollars with no fees through BVNK, Stripe, and Visa.

The stablecoin is backed by Coinbase, Mastercard, Shopify, Stripe, and Visa, with more than $1 billion committed for initial liquidity.

The stablecoin is already live on Ethereum, #Solana, Base, and Tempo.

Major payment networks seem to be increasingly convinced: stablecoins are moving from being a crypto alternative to becoming global financial infrastructure.
