Marqeta Turns to BVNK for Stablecoin-Backed Card Capabilities

Marqeta and BVNK partnered to offer stablecoin-backed card capabilities, enabling users to transact in digital dollars. BVNK provides infrastructure for stablecoins and fiat, while Marqeta handles card issuance. The collaboration connects Marqeta to Mastercard's network, acquired BVNK earlier this year. Both companies support the Open USD stablecoin standard. PYMNTS research shows consumer interest in crypto payments but highlights acceptance and trust barriers.
