Mastercard and Chainlink have partnered to allow 3.5 billion cardholders to buy crypto directly on-chain using their traditional Mastercard via Swapper Finance.
Users can purchase various cryptocurrencies, including BTC and stablecoins, on-chain using their Mastercard, marking a significant integration between traditional and decentralized finance.
This collaboration enables users to buy crypto from Uniswap, use Mastercard's global rails for fiat-to-crypto conversion, and transact on-chain without complex wallet setups.
Swapper Finance, powered by Chainlink, offers a seamless way to get crypto directly into the user's wallet, ensuring security, compliance, and ease of use.
The partnership simplifies the crypto purchasing experience, allowing users to buy tokens from DEXs with their everyday cards, handling KYC, fiat conversion, and smart contract interaction efficiently.
Transactions are fully on-chain, providing transparency, DeFi-level control, and eliminating the need for centralized exchanges or off-chain limitations.
This move represents a significant step towards crypto adoption by merging traditional finance and DeFi directly at the DEX level without intermediaries or off-chain constraints.
To buy crypto with Mastercard via Swapper, the user initiates the purchase, Shift4 processes fiat-to-crypto conversion, zerohash delivers the intermediary token, and Chainlink verifies and triggers the trade on a DEX.
Swapper Finance is currently live at swapper.finance, potentially ushering in a new era of global DeFi adoption where credit cards offer instant access to the decentralized future.
