Crypto Fintech Moonpay與萬事達卡聯隊啟用Tether（USDT）付款

Moonpay與萬事達卡合作，使加密用戶能夠使用Tether的USDT Stablecoin付費。

Crypto fintech MoonPay has teamed up with Mastercard to enable crypto users to pay for everyday purchases with Tether’s (CRYPTO: USDT) stablecoin.

Crypto Fintech Moonpay已與萬事達卡合作，使加密用戶能夠使用Tether's（Crypto：USDT）Stablecoin付費。

What Happened: The MoonPay Mastercard will be usable at 150 million locations where Mastercard is accepted, in more than 200 countries and territories. USDT will be automatically converted into fiat currency at the point of sale.

發生的事情：Moonpay Mastercard將在200多個國家和地區接受萬事達卡的1.5億個地點可用。 USDT將在銷售點自動轉換為法定貨幣。

“With this partnership, every crypto wallet will also have access to new stablecoin-powered virtual Mastercards,” said Moonpay.

Moonpay說：“通過這種合作夥伴關係，每個加密錢包也將可以使用新的穩定驅動的虛擬萬事達。”

“By providing solutions that unlock stablecoin utility and ubiquity, we are redefining how money moves globally and driving a shift in payments as we know it. Together with MoonPay, we’re building innovative and secure connectivity between crypto and mainstream finance ecosystems.” said Scott Abrahams, executive vice president of global partnerships at Mastercard.

“通過提供解鎖Stablecoin實用程序和無處不在的解決方案，我們正在重新定義金錢在全球範圍內如何移動，並促進我們所知道的付款轉移。與Moonpay一起，我們正在建立加密貨幣和主流金融生態系統之間的創新和安全的連通性。”萬事達卡全球合作夥伴關係執行副總裁Scott Abrahams說。

Paolo Ardino, CEO of Tether, called the partnership “huge”, saying, “USDT cards are the best idea after sliced bread,” in an X post.

Tether首席執行官Paolo Ardino在X帖子中稱合作夥伴關係為“巨大”，稱“ USDT卡是切成薄片的麵包後最好的主意”。

The partnership will leverage infrastructure from Iron, a stablecoin payments firm MoonPay acquired in March.

該合作夥伴關係將利用Iron的基礎設施，這是3月收購的Stablecoin支付公司Moonpay。

Payments Giants Embrace Stablecoins: Mastercard isn't alone in venturing into the realm of stablecoin payments. In late April, Visa partnered with Baanx to introduce a stablecoin payments card using Circle's USDC (CRYPTO: USDC). These cards are designed to be compatible with self-custodial wallets. Similar to the Mastercard/MoonPay card, the Visa/Baanx cards also perform the conversion of stablecoins to the local fiat currency at the point of sale.

付款巨頭擁抱穩定的人：萬事達卡並不孤單地冒險進入Stablecoin付款領域。 4月下旬，Visa與Baanx合作，使用Circle的USDC（Crypto：USDC）引入Stablecoin Payments卡。這些卡的設計與自我監測的錢包兼容。與萬事達卡/月餐卡類似，Visa/Baanx卡在銷售點上也將穩定幣轉換為當地菲亞特貨幣。

Tether holds the largest share of the stablecoin market, with a market capitalization of $151 billion. USDC follows in second place, boasting a market cap of $60 billion.

Tether擁有Stablecoin市場的最大份額，市值為1510億美元。 USDC緊隨其後，擁有600億美元的市值。

Both Mastercard and Baanx have also collaborated to create a card that empowers users to spend crypto directly from their MetaMask wallets.

萬事達卡和baanx都合作創建了一張卡，使用戶可以直接從其元掩體錢包中花費加密貨幣。

Stablecoins are increasingly being recognized as an excellent payments method, a view partly shared by the Trump administration, which sees stablecoins as a way to export and maintain the U.S. dollar's market dominance globally.

Stablecoins越來越被認為是一種出色的付款方法，這是特朗普政府部分分享的觀點，該觀點將Stablecoins視為出口和維持全球美元市場優勢的一種方式。

A bipartisan bill aiming to pass stablecoin regulation, which could significantly enhance their acceptance, recently faced a setback as Democrats demanded stronger consumer protections and a ban on the President profiting from cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins.

一項旨在通過Stablecoin法規的兩黨法案可能會大大提高他們的接受，最近面臨挫折，因為民主黨要求更強有力的消費者保護和禁止從包括stablecoins在內的加密貨幣中獲利的總統。

Advantages Of Stablecoin Payments: Stablecoins' greatest strength as a payments tool stems from their peg to the U.S. dollar, ensuring price stability and enabling nearly instantaneous cross-border settlement. They also provide a means to protect savings while facilitating easy payments in high-inflation economies.

Stablecoin付款的優勢：Stablecoins作為付款工具的最大優勢源於其釘到美元的銷售，確保價格穩定性並實現了幾乎瞬時的跨境解決方案。他們還提供了一種保護節省的手段，同時促進高通貨膨脹經濟體的輕鬆付款。

"Whether it's shopping at a local market in Asia Pacific or a Latin American merchant paying a European supplier online, these capabilities offer significant advantages," Mastercard noted in a statement.

MasterCard在一份聲明中指出：“無論是在亞太地區的當地市場購物，還是在線支付歐洲供應商的拉丁美洲商人，這些功能都具有很大的優勢。”

MoonPay, which integrates with over 500 crypto platforms including major wallets and exchanges, boasts a combined reach of over 100 million active crypto users. The company adds that around 20 million wallets globally perform stablecoin transfers every month, and 120 million hold stablecoin balances.

Moonpay與包括主要錢包和交易所在內的500多個加密平台集成在一起，擁有超過1億活躍的加密使用者的總覆蓋範圍。該公司補充說，全球約有約2000萬錢包每月進行Stablecoin進行轉移，而擁有1.2億個持有穩定的錢包餘額。
