Recently, Stables, a trailblazer in Australia's stablecoin payments sector, announced a strategic partnership with the world-renowned payment giant, Mastercard. This collaboration aims to facilitate the circulation of its dollar-pegged assets, such as Circle's USDC token, more widely in the European market, particularly in the UK. Bernado Bilotta, co-founder of Stables, underscores this partnership as reflecting the ongoing trend of dollar-pegged assets integrating into mainstream payment systems. Through this collaboration, Stables users can now use USDC for shopping at merchants in 27 European countries, whether through traditional Mastercard networks or via convenient transactions on digital platforms like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
