Mastercard Recruits Binance, Ripple and PayPal for Crypto Partner Program
Mastercard has launched the Crypto Partner Program, a global initiative bringing together over 85 crypto-native companies, payment providers, and financial institutions. The program aims to move digital assets beyond speculation and integrate them into practical uses like cross-border remittances, B2B transfers, and settlements within existing financial systems. Major partners include crypto exchanges such as Binance, Crypto.com, Bybit, and Gemini; payment firms like Ripple, Circle, MoonPay, and PayPal; blockchain networks including Solana, Avalanche, Aptos, and Polygon; and firms like Anchorage Digital, Nexo, Paxos, and SoFi. Crypto analytics companies Elliptic and TRM Labs are also involved. Participants will collaborate with Mastercard to develop future products and services that combine digital asset capabilities with traditional payment infrastructure. This initiative expands on Mastercard’s previous digital asset projects and aims to ensure seamless integration of blockchain innovations into global commerce.
