Mastercard to Acquire BVNK in $1.8 Billion Deal to Expand Digital Asset Payments
Mastercard announced an agreement to acquire stablecoin infrastructure provider BVNK for up to $1.8 billion, including contingent payments, as it expands its capabilities in digital assets and on-chain payments.
The acquisition will enable Mastercard to integrate stablecoins and tokenized deposits with traditional fiat payment rails, supporting use cases such as cross-border payments, remittances, and B2B transactions. The deal aims to enhance interoperability, speed, and programmability across payment systems, with closing expected by the end of the year pending regulatory approvals.
