Mastercard has agreed to acquire stablecoin infrastructure firm BVNK for up to $1.8 billion, including $300 million in performance‑based payments, in a deal expected to close by the end of 2026. BVNK’s platform connects fiat money and stablecoins across major blockchains, helping businesses send and receive digital payments in 130+ countries. The move gives Mastercard on‑chain payment rails and builds on its broader digital‑asset and Crypto Partner Program efforts, coming months after BVNK’s talks with Coinbase collapsed.
