MoonPay has partnered with Mastercard to introduce a new range of stablecoin payment cards that will enable smooth digital asset transactions at over 150 million merchants globally.

This partnership, announced on May 15, 2025, follows MoonPay’s acquisition of Iron’s infrastructure, which develops API-first stablecoin systems for on-chain payment solutions.

With this new card, users can transact using stablecoins like USDC, USDT, and DAI, with the technology automatically converting stablecoins to local fiat at the point of sale.

“MoonPay and Mastercard are making stablecoin payments feel convenient and easy to use. Great point to emphasize that stablecoins are becoming the default backend of global payments.”

The launch has been met with enthusiasm, highlighting the importance of stablecoins for ease in payment processes.

Major Partner Movements
On the same day, MoonPay also announced enhanced partnerships with PayPal for quicker access to cryptocurrency purchases within the EU and UK. Ivan Soto-Wright, co-Founder and CEO of MoonPay stated, “Our partnership with PayPal shows anything but confidence in jointly shaping the future of digital currency transactions.”

As investors shift their focus from gold to Bitcoin, with Changpeng Zhao of Binance predicting Bitcoin to hit $500,000, stablecoins continue to gain traction as foundational tools in the digital currency landscape.
