Mastercard continues to Push for Blockchain Technology.
Mastercard has been making massive moves to popularize blockchain technology to millions of its users.
In February this year, the credit card company expressed interest in supporting selected cryptocurrencies directly into their network. As per their press release, the company emphasized that their support for cryptocurrencies should in no way imply that they are pushing their customers towards it.
It is all optional, and their role in this is to enable merchants, customers, and businesses to move into it if they wish so.
Last month, Mastercard was among the companies that helped raised $65 million for ConsenSys, to expand its blockchain solutions around Defi and Web 3.0.
Under the proposition, the company is set to incorporate carbon footprint tracking to help offset carbon emissions through customer purchases.
As a financial pioneer in payment innovation, Mastercard is undoubtedly making extra effort to pave financial digitization dominance.
