Chainlink, Mastercard Partner to Bring Crypto to Over 3 Billion Users
In a move to bridge traditional finance and blockchain, Chainlink has partnered with Mastercard to provide over three billion Mastercard users with direct access to cryptocurrency. The collaboration will enable fiat-to-crypto conversions using standard bank cards, bringing digital assets closer to mainstream adoption.
This initiative is part of a larger, multi-party project involving several key industry players. Zerohash will oversee regulatory compliance and crypto custody, ensuring secure and legally sound conversions.
Shift4 Payments will manage card processing, while Swapper Finance and its decentralised exchange, XSwap, will facilitate the final crypto transactions.
All of these components are powered by Chainlink’s infrastructure, which ensures secure data flow between traditional payment systems and blockchain-based services.
This project marks a significant step toward making crypto transactions as simple and familiar as using a regular credit card. By integrating blockchain functionality into Mastercard’s global payment network, the partnership represents a major shift toward real-world crypto utility for everyday users.
