Mastercard's move directly broke down the walls between TradFi and DeFi, allowing settlement over the weekend and finally no longer having to wait for T+2.

CryptoWorld News reports that Wu has learned that Mastercard has officially announced plans to expand settlement capabilities, adding same-day, weekend, and holiday card transaction settlements, and supporting on-chain card transaction settlements through regulated stablecoins. Mastercard will support USDC, PYUSD, USDG, USDP, RLUSD, and SOFIUSD, covering networks such as Arbitrum, Base, Canton, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Tempo, and XRPL. ARQ, CBW Bank, Cross River, Lead Bank, and Nuvei are expected to become the first partners supporting this stablecoin settlement option in the United States and Latin America, with future expansion still dependent on regulatory requirements.
