Mastercard acquiring BVNK in March and now this announcement makes more sense as a sequence than either move did alone.
BVNK gives them stablecoin orchestration on the back end and this gives them card issuance capability on top.
I remember when the Bridge Visa expansion got announced earlier this year and the takeaway was this is the move that defines the category so Rain answering with Mastercard a few months later changes the question I’d be asking if I were evaluating infra right now.
Genius Act passing last summer broke the dam on this stuff. A year ago none of these deals would have closed.
So like the other crypto scams before them
Buy bitcoin. How tf is this still a question in 2026
Oh yeah, please give me more of Mastercard and Visa. Oh, I love Duopolies so much. Only thing I would love more is if they merged.
