On July 15, according to Bloomberg, Mastercard Chief Product Officer Jorn Lambert said on an analyst call on Monday that while stablecoin technology has the advantages of high speed, 24/7 availability, low cost, programmability, and immutability, these features are not enough to make it an effective everyday payment tool. Lambert emphasized that for stablecoins to achieve widespread adoption, they also need a seamless and predictable user experience, broader coverage, and consumer distribution. Mastercard is positioning itself as a bridge between digital assets and traditional financial systems. [Deep Tide TechFlow]
