Mastercard Has Partnered With Paxos To Provide Cryptocurrency Trading For Customers
Payments giant Mastercard has now officially teamed up with Paxos Trust to offer a new service that would allow financial institutions to provide customers with cryptocurrency trading facilities and abilities.
According to this new venture by Mastercard, users would be allowed to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrencies in combination with Mastercard’s proprietary Crypto Secure solution to ensure excellent safety and security as well as legal compliance. The payments company said this new tool is expected to be launched in the current year’s fourth quarter.
Paxos is already providing a tool for the global payments company PayPal. This service was launched by PayPal back in late 2020.
Its new partnership with Mastercard now allows Paxos to offer cryptocurrency asset trading and custody services on behalf of banks. At the same time, Mastercard will implement its technology to combine cryptocurrency trading into bank interfaces.

Mastercard has presumably been engaged in various cryptocurrency and blockchain-related projects recently. Mastercard signed a partnership deal with the Coinbase exchange in January 2022 to allow its non-fungible token (NFT) users to make purchases using Mastercard’s cards.
