Mastercard integrates a new stablecoin.

The company is integrating support for $OUSD, the new openstandard stablecoin, 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 will 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 $1,000M committed for initial liquidity.

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

The major payment networks seem increasingly certain: stablecoins are moving from being a crypto alternative to becoming global financial infrastructure.
