MoonPay has teamed up with Mastercard to launch a new suite of stablecoin payment cards. This is a significant move because it will enable seamless digital asset spending at over 150 million merchants worldwide.
Announced on 15 May 2025, this collaboration follows MoonPay’s recent acquisition of Iron’s infrastructure – responsible for building API-first stablecoin infrastructure to power global, onchain payment experiences. Meanwhile, for Mastercard, this is another move in crypto expansion.
The MoonPay Mastercard global stablecoin payment card will allow users to pay with stablecoins such as USDC, USDT, DAI. The technology automatically converts stablecoins to fiat currency at the point of sale. It ensures merchants receive payments in their local currency.

Ahead of this data release, smart investors are shifting from gold to Bitcoin.
Changpeng Zhao of Binance predicts Bitcoin could hit $500,000 this cycle. With the Federal Reserve likely to cut rates in the next meeting, confidence in Bitcoin’s prospects is growing.
Investors are flocking to the BTC Bull presale, one of the hottest presales in Q2 2025. Its appeal lies in blending meme culture with the Bitcoin performance.
BTC Bull holders will receive free BTC when BTCUSDT reaches $150,000, with more distribution once the digital gold rises by $50,000. The last airdrop is once BTC hits $1 million.
Moreover, the token is deflationary.
Once Bitcoin breaches $125,000, the project will burn a portion of its supply, with additional burns after every $25,000 spike.
Presently, over $5.7 million has been raised, but demand is surging, and token prices will rise in the next two hours. For now, each BTCBULL token is available for just $0.00251.
After buying BTCBULL using crypto or bank cards, presale investors can stake for 72% APY. Staking is an opportunity to earn passive income and earn more free BTC.
