Mastercard expands its payment network for NFT markets and Web3.
The financial service provider has been expanding NFT payment networks for a year. The company has partnered with leading NFT markets to let 2.9 billion cardholders buy NFTs without first buying bitcoin.
To buy NFTs, consumers must buy crypto. With Mastercard’s latest cooperation, billions of cardholders can sidestep buying and transferring crypto to NFT marketplaces. Company:
- “These integrations are designed to make crypto more accessible and help the NFT ecosystem keep growing, innovating and bringing in more fans.”
Immutable X, Candy Digital, The Sandbox, Mintable, Spring, Nifty Gateway, and Web3 infrastructure provider MoonPay are among the NFT marketplaces with which Mastercard has worked.
