Mastercard has finalized its $1.8 billion acquisition of stablecoin infrastructure firm BVNK.
Mastercard said on Monday that the purchase integrates BVNK’s onchain technology with its worldwide network to link digital and fiat currencies. According to the payments provider, the combination will enable institutions, fintechs, and businesses to increase their usage of tokenized assets and stablecoins in cross-border commercial payments, payouts, settlements, and treasury flows.
In a different statement, BVNK declared that it had formally joined Mastercard and that clients will be able to access the same teams, products, and integrations without having to take any more action.
BVNK is now part of Mastercard. Together, we’re creating one trusted network for every form of money, enabling customers to move value across currencies, borders and payment systems. Learn more: https://t.co/4JNikZp7F4

According to BVNK, the partnership might enable payment providers to facilitate 24-hour merchant settlement while banks could provide stablecoin payment services and link consumer accounts to wallets.
According to BVNK, Mastercard’s global presence will enhance its card features and international money transfer services.
In March, Mastercard reached a deal to buy BVNK for up to $1.8 billion, with $300 million in contingent payments. The agreement follows Coinbase and BVNK’s November 2025 abandonment of a $2 billion deal that had advanced to the due diligence phase.
