Mastercard has unveiled a full suite of end-to-end capabilities to power stablecoin transactions, from wallets to checkouts.
This week’s announcement highlights major partnerships with OKX and Nuvei. They’re building a seamless stablecoin payment system for both spending and receiving. With clearer global regulations and rising institutional interest. Mastercard aims to make them practical tools for real-world use.
Stablecoins Go Mainstream
Mastercard’s new capabilities center on giving people and businesses real utility. From crypto wallets to merchant settlements, the company is offering a 360-degree approach. Whether it’s earning rewards through platforms like MetaMask and Kraken, spending stablecoins via cards at 150 million+ merchants, or cashing out to a bank account using Mastercard Move, users are now able to stay in crypto up until the moment they swipe.
One example is that Mastercard is teaming up with OKX to launch the OKX Card. This card will let users spend stablecoins across the Mastercard network, turning their holdings into everyday currency—no conversions or added steps needed.

More About Stablecoins
JPMorgan recently projected that the stablecoin market could expand significantly, reaching between $500 billion and $750 billion in the coming years. If this growth plays out and stablecoin issuers allocate their reserves with a 70/30 split between U.S. Treasuries and Treasury repos, they would become the third-largest holders of Treasury bills globally.
JPM: Our best estimate is that the market size for stablecoins has the potential to grow to $500-$750bn over the coming years. Assuming a 70/30 split into Treasuries and Treasury repo, respectively, this would put stablecoin issuers as the third largest buyer of T-bills. pic.twitter.com/FCtNRFRr4p
