Chainlink course rises 10% due to cooperation with Mastercard – Passionategeekz

Good news for Bloxxers with Chainlink in their locker, the price rises 10% Thanks to a collaboration with credit card company Mastercard. Together they want to make it possible for three billion Mastercard holders to buy crypto more easily.

Buy crypto more easily with your debit card

The idea is simple. You no longer have to have a hassle with complicated wallets or all kinds of detours. Thanks to this collaboration, as a MasterCard user you can easily buy crypto. With your payment card.

For this, Chainlink works together with a number of Web3 companies. Think of Shift4 Payments, Swapper Finance, Xswap and Zerohash. This may sound As if a toddler can come up with the names for a new generation of Power Rangers, but they are really serious companies. For example, Zerohash ensures the technology with which you can immediately convert euros or dollars to Crypto.

A Chainlink spokesperson said that they want to make that conversion easy for everyone. So not only for die-hard cryptofans, but also for people who still have little experience with it.

Mastercard zet in op crypto

Mastercard seems to be making more and more work on crypto in 2024 and 2025. Earlier this year they already came up with payment cards with which you can spend crypto at regular stores. In April, the company announced a collaboration with Crypto Fair Kraken.

Together they released crypto-debit cards in Europe and the United Kingdom. They also came up with a special card for Metamask users, with which you manage your own crypto.

And Mastercard is not the only one. Big competitor Visa is also not standing still. Visa has been working with Coinbase since October 2024. Coinbase customers can therefore easily deposit or record crypto.

Visa also launched a web3 platform for digital assets and invested in a payment system for Stablecoins.

Access to crypto becomes easier

Crypto is still difficult for many people outside the Netherlands and Belgium, they do not have access to Passionategeekz. Certainly if they know little about wallets or how block chains work exactly. And that is a shame, because that stops the growth of crypto.

Raj Dhamodharan, the boss of Blockchain and digital assets at Mastercard, also agrees. According to him, there is a lot of demand for simple ways to get started with crypto.

“There is no doubt about it. People just want to be able to connect easily with the world of digital assets,” he says.
