Mastercard and BVNK bring fiat and stablecoins together in one platform Mastercard and BVNK have launched the Global Money Platform, infrastructure that banks, fintechs and businesses can integrate into their own services through a single API. It combines accounts in fiat currencies and stablecoins, crypto assets designed to track a currency such as the dollar, as well as conversion, stablecoin-linked cards and payouts to local bank accounts. Customers will be able to spend stablecoin balances across Mastercard’s network of hundreds of millions of acceptance locations. The platform is available through BVNK; the integration brings digital balances closer to everyday payments, without meaning that all merchants are paid directly in stablecoins.
