The partnership intends to allow consumers to convert bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies into fiat currencies. Mastercard is set to introduce crypto-linked credit, debit, and prepaid cards for individuals and businesses across Asia Pacific in partnership with the aforementioned platforms. Cardholders will be able to instantly convert bitcoin and other digital currencies into fiat to use for online or offline shopping. The new offering is limited to merchants that accept Mastercard payments.
