According to TheBigWhale, Christian Rau, head of Mastercard's European crypto business, said in an interview that the company sees crypto assets as a potential payment technology rather than a disruptive innovation. Mastercard has deployed cryptocurrency up and down-chain services and cryptocurrency payment card businesses, and has partnered with institutions such as MetaMask, Bitget, and Moonpay to promote the application of crypto payments on the merchant side.
Rau pointed out that while stablecoins have surpassed Mastercard in terms of volume, the company views them as a settlement tool rather than a threat. Mastercard processes about 5,000 transactions per second, and its value lies not only in transaction speed, but also in supporting services such as anti-fraud, compliance, and recourse.
While Mastercard does not have its own public blockchain project, it does not rule out the option: "We prefer interoperability with existing solutions. But if none of them meet our needs, we will consider it."
