Mastercard is set to acquire stablecoin infrastructure firm BVNK in a deal 
worth up to around $1.8 billion, pushing deeper into crypto rails and 24/7 
payments. Related Reading: Crypto-Linked Crime Jumps In Basque Country — But 
What Does It Mean For Traders? A Multi-Billion Crypto Purchase TradFi 
continues to demonstrate that they don’t want out of the crypto rails, and 
stablecoins appear to be the safest pathway they have found to adapt to the 
times. Bloomberg reported this Tuesday afternoon that the purchase of the 
London‑based fintech startup also includes $300 million in contingent 
payments. This deal follows four months of a failed $2 billion between BVNK 
and Coinbase Global Inc. This acquisition is Mastercard’s most recent push 
into tokenized bank deposits and stablecoins. In an April 2025 press release 
on its stablecoin strategy, Mastercard said it is “advancing the future of 
payments, finance and technology with new, global end‑to‑end stablecoin 
acceptance and payments capabilities,” positioning stablecoins as part of its 
core network rather than a side experiment. On March 11, Mastercard launched a 
global initiative that brought together “more than 85 industry leaders” in 
digital assets and payments, such as Binance, Crypto.com, Kraken, Paypal and 
Solana, to connect on‑chain innovation with existing payment rails. The Reign 
Of Stablecoins Stablecoins have become the dominant crypto use case for value 
transfer, with growing share of on‑chain volume versus speculative trading. A 
report from Plasma states that stablecoin transaction volume exceeded $33 
trillion by late 2025, describing a shift from speculative trading towards 
utility and payment use cases, calling stablecoins “core financial 
infrastructure of DeFi”. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Hits $74K As 
Geopolitical Tensions Spike, Is BTC Poised For a Fresh Leg Down? That explains 
why big payment networks and banks are racing to lock in stablecoin settlement 
rails to defend fees and relevance in cross‑border and B2B payments. As 
Bloomberg puts it, not only Mastercard but also Visa Inc. are “positioning 
themselves to remain the payment players of choice as emerging technologies 
become more prominent”. On a press release issued this past January 12, BNVK 
announced its partnership with Visa to bring stablecoin payments to the Visa 
Direct platform, as covered by our sister website Bitcoinist. Traders do well 
to remember that stablecoin‑centric tokens and payment/infrastructure names 
can gain narrative momentum as “crypto payments” flips from story to 
execution. The risk, however, is that since the integration, regulation, and 
execution timelines are slow, the trade in the near term is narrative‑driven 
rather than fundamentals‑driven. At the moment of writing, BTC’s price reaches 
the highs $73k. Source: BTCUSDT on Tradingview Cover image from Perplexity,
