Mastercard has launched the Global Money Platform, a new service allowing businesses to integrate stablecoins into traditional banking and card payments. The service enables companies to hold and convert fiat currencies and stablecoins, offer stablecoin-linked cards, and make payments directly from stablecoin balances to local bank accounts worldwide.

This move positions Mastercard in direct competition with Visa, which launched a similar platform last July.
