Mastercard expands card settlement to include regulated stablecoins
Mastercard announced expanded settlement capabilities, adding intraday, weekend and holiday card settlement and on-chain settlement using regulated stablecoins including USDC, PYUSD, USDG and RLUSD across eight blockchain networks. ARQ, CBW Bank, Cross River, Lead Bank and Nuvei were named among the first participants.
Stablecoin settlement support from a major card network signals growing integration between traditional card rails and blockchain-based settlement, with direct relevance to settlement speed, weekend/holiday liquidity and the regulated stablecoin ecosystem.
