Mastercard Unveils Crypto Partner Program with Over 85 Industry Players

Mastercard has launched its Crypto Partner Program, a global initiative that brings together over 85 crypto-native companies, payment providers, and financial institutions. The program is designed to inform future product development targeting enterprise use cases, including cross-border remittances, business-to-business transfers, payouts, and settlement.

The membership includes major players such as Binance, Gemini, Crypto(dot)com, Bybit, Circle, Ripple, PayPal, and MoonPay, as well as blockchain network teams linked to Solana, Avalanche, Aptos, and Polygon. Other participants include Anchorage Digital, Nexo, Paxos, SoFi, Elliptic, and TRM Labs.

Mastercard described the program as reflecting a belief that the next phase of on-chain payments will be built through collaboration. Participants will work directly with Mastercard teams to design and direct future products and services, combining digital assets with established card rails and global commerce flows.
