Abstract generation in progress

Mastercard is expanding stablecoin payment capabilities to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through a strategic partnership with Abu Dhabi-based ADI Foundation. This initiative supports both domestic and cross-border transactions, while also strengthening the UAE’s ambitions to become a global hub for digital assets and blockchain technology.

The initial phase will focus on stablecoin payment solutions, including stablecoin-linked payment cards, remittances, B2B cash flows, and tokenized real-world asset applications. The integration of ADI Foundation’s compliant, high-performance blockchain infrastructure with Mastercard’s global payment network aims to deliver faster, safer, and more efficient transactions.

Mastercard executives stated that promoting asset tokenization and stablecoin applications will build a bridge between traditional finance and the blockchain ecosystem. The initiative is further expanded with the participation of NEO PAY and INFINIOS, as stablecoins experience rapid growth in the Middle East.
