Mastercard Adds USDC, PYUSD, RLUSD to Card Settlement
Mastercard integrates major stablecoins including USDC, PYUSD, and RLUSD into its global card settlement rails, expanding multi-token support for merchants and issuers.
So what
Integrating major regulated stablecoins into Mastercard's settlement rails bridges traditional payment networks with on-chain liquidity, drastically reducing FX and cross-border settlement bottlenecks. This move validates issuer-specific stablecoins like RLUSD and PYUSD alongside USDC, intensifying competition among stablecoin rails for enterprise treasury adoption.
