Mastercard, SoFi team up to introduce stablecoin in card settlement process

Mastercard has begun a test to introduce stablecoins into the settlement process that follows card payments. It is working with U.S. financial services company SoFi Technologies to settle card transactions using a regulated digital dollar, SoFiUSD. The pilot keeps the consumer payment experience unchanged and applies blockchain-based assets only to the interbank settlement stage. SoFi Bank plans to settle Mastercard credit and debit transactions in SoFiUSD, supported by Galileo Financial Technologies.
