MA is trading 3% up now at $529.08 after joining the Open USD stablecoin consortium alongside industry leaders including Visa, Coinbase, and BlackRock.
- The partnership allows consortium members to receive a share of stablecoin reserve earnings, providing a new revenue stream linked to digital asset adoption.
- This move significantly expands Mastercard’s footprint in digital assets and tokenized settlement, a strategic pivot that investors are rewarding despite relatively flat broader equity markets.
