Chainlink, Mastercard partner to allow 3 billion cardholders to buy crypto

The integration could spur crypto adoption by providing a new avenue for people without Web3 exposure to gain experience with digital assets.

The integration is made possible through a series of partnerships with Web3 entities, including Shift4 Payments, Swapper Finance, XSwap and ZeroHash, a crypto and stablecoins infrastructure company that will provide the onchain service and liquidity enabling customers to convert fiat currency to crypto.
