Mastercard has completed its acquisition of stablecoin infrastructure company BVNK, closing a deal valued at $1.8 billion.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Mastercard said<\/a> the acquisition combines its global network with BVNK\u2019s onchain infrastructure to connect digital currencies with fiat currencies. The payments company said the combination would help institutions, fintechs and enterprises expand their use of stablecoins and tokenized assets across cross-border business payments, payouts, settlement and treasury flows.\u00a0<\/p>\n In a separate announcement, BVNK said<\/a> it had officially become part of Mastercard, adding that customers would continue to use the same teams, products and integrations, with no action required.\u00a0<\/p>\n BVNK said the tie-up could allow banks to offer stablecoin payment services and connect customer accounts to wallets, while payment providers could enable round-the-clock merchant settlement.<\/p>\n BVNK said Mastercard\u2019s global reach would expand its card capabilities and international fund transfer services.<\/p>\n Mastercard agreed to acquire BVNK<\/a> for up to $1.8 billion in March, including $300 million in contingent payments. The deal comes after Coinbase and BVNK abandoned a proposed $2 billion transaction<\/a> in November 2025, which had reached the due diligence stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong><\/em>Stablecoins gain ground for paychecks and daily spending: BVNK report<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Related:<\/strong> Bitcoin price<\/a> \u00b7 BTC live chart<\/a> \u00b7 Ethereum price<\/a> \u00b7 ETH gas fee<\/a> \u00b7 Bitcoin price today<\/a> \u00b7 Top 10 cryptocurrencies<\/a><\/p>\n
