To help financial institutions to offer crypto trading to customers, the Payments giant has formed a partnership with Paxos, as per Monday’s announcement by MasterCard.
Paxos and Mastercard will handle security and regulatory compliance, which are the two major reasons financial institutions have been citing for avoiding the asset class.
Mastercard will act as a “bridge” between Paxos, a cryptocurrency trading platform already in use by Paypal for similar services, and financial institutions, according to MasterCard.
A lot of consumers have been hesitant as well, Bitcoin, for instance, is known for volatility, same with other cryptocurrencies, and since the beginning of this year, the world’s top digital asset has lost more than half of its value, also, there have been a lot of attacks on the crypto industry by cyberpunks, high profile bankruptcies is another issue causing investors to be wary of investing.
“There’s a lot of consumers out there that are really interested in this, and intrigued by crypto, but would feel a lot more confident if those services were offered by their financial institutions,” Mastercard’s chief digital officer, Jorn Lambert, told CNBC in an interview. “It’s a little scary to some people still.”
Investment banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have teams dedicated to crypto, but have refused to offer it to customers, days ago, JP Morgan CEO said cryptocurrency is a “decentralized Ponzis” at a finance event, should financial institutions this Mastercard partnership mode, it may mean competition for crypto exchanges in the United States.
