XSwap sources liquidity from decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, enabling final swap execution on-chain while maintaining compliance.\u00a0It did not state whether access to crypto would be geofenced or only available in certain jurisdictions.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the type of traditional finance and decentralized finance convergence that Chainlink was built to make possible,\u201d said Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov, who added that he was excited about:<\/p>\n \u201cChainlink\u2019s ability to enable this critical connection between the traditional payments world and the over three billion cardholders in the Mastercard user base, directly into the next generation trading environments of on-chain decentralized exchanges.\u201d<\/p>\n Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president of blockchain and digital assets at Mastercard, said there was \u201cno doubt\u201d that people want to be able to connect to the digital assets ecosystem easily, and vice versa.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for the \u201cLink Marines,\u201d even a partnership as monumental as this has failed to move LINK prices<\/a> very much as altcoins remain in the doldrums.<\/p>\n LINK has gained a meagre 3.8% on the day in line with a broader market uptick in the wake of the ceasefire<\/a> in the Middle East.<\/p>\n The asset was trading at around $13.40 at the time of writing, down 55% from its recent high of almost $30 six months ago, and a whopping 75% from its 2021 all-time high as altseason remains a distant hope.<\/p>\n #Chainlink<\/a> $LINK<\/a> daily chart- \u2014 SimplisticChartsJoe (@CryptoChartsJoe) June 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n The post Chainlink Partners With Mastercard Enabling 3 Billion Cardholders to Buy Crypto\u00a0<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chainlink and Mastercard have partnered to enable payment for 3 billion cardholders worldwide to purchase crypto assets directly on-chain through secure fiat-to-crypto conversion.

\nIt\u2019s much smarter to \u201cwait until close to the daily close\u201d to potentially take a position on any asset. Especially, on a news-driven event like #Chainlink<\/a> and #Mastercard<\/a> today. We don\u2019t know until end of day if this rally is real or just a pump &\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/9yC8e6e6fy<\/a><\/p>\n
