## Source summary

“Digital currencies — particularly stablecoins — are increasingly addressing real-world needs in areas like cross-border B2B payments, remittances, payouts, settlement and treasury flows,” said Jorn Lambert, chief product officer at Mastercard. “In a multi-money world where fiat, stablecoins and tokenized deposits and other forms of value coexist, the next payments paradigm will be defined by how effectively each rail, network or form of money connects and works together.

## Why it matters

Mastercard may be gaining capacity to expand product coverage or compete in more markets. For cross-border payments, the decision question is whether it materially changes prefunding, cross-border settlement time, stablecoin on/off ramps, or regulated market access, rather than adding another market announcement.
