Cardano has joined Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program, alongside other firms exploring blockchain payment applications.

The network has roughly 10,000 daily active users and 323,600 monthly active accounts, with very low transaction fees averaging $0.06. For the partnership to translate into real-world adoption, Cardano will need to increase stablecoin liquidity and payment activity significantly.
