The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined Mastercard's cryptocurrency business partners, which now exceed 100, covering multiple key areas such as public chains, stablecoins, trading platforms, risk control services, and payment infrastructure. Unlike Visa and PayPal's more "selective partnership" strategy, Mastercard aims to become the connective layer for all payment links.Structurally, this network can be understood as a "multi-node collaborative system":Assets and Settlement: Through stablecoin issuers like Circle and Paxos, as well as multiple public chains, it undertakes on-chain assets and settlement capabilities.Connection and Circulation: Integrating cross-chain protocols, custody services, and payment channels to allow different chains and assets to flow within its system.Compliance and Security: Introducing risk control service providers like TRM Labs and Elliptic to build compliance capabilities aimed at the global regulatory environment.Applications and Reach: Collaborating with exchanges, wallets, and financial institutions to transform on-chain capabilities into user-perceived payment and consumption scenarios.Therefore, Mastercard's strategy is essentially not about selecting suppliers but about lowering access thresholds and expanding network externalities. It connects more upstream chains and asset issuers while attracting payment institutions and financial terminals downstream, making its strategy more aligned with the center of the next-generation payment system.
