The French firm Kulipa was chosen by Mastercard as part of the Begin Path initiative together with Singapore’s Peaq and the UK’s Parfin. While Parfin assists businesses in implementing blockchain rails, Kulipa facilitates digital wallet-friendly cryptocurrency payment cards, and Peaq offers global digital infrastructure for applications that use automobiles, machinery, robotics, and other real-world objects.
According to a Mastercard press statement, the other two recently joined companies include the US-based company Triangle, which triangulates weather information with money on blockchain, and the Belgium-based Venly, which makes blockchain integration easier for enterprises.
“Each currency format, from regulated money to bank deposits, stablecoins, and CBDCs, serves a distinct purpose,” Mastercard announced regarding the development. “Mastercard is collaborating with industry experts and fintechs to explore unique use cases that can address real-world challenges.”
Digital assets are becoming more and more popular, according to Mastercard, because they help expedite business and bolster transaction tracking’s transparency. The business believes that digital assets will become widely used in the near future.
The business, which as of May 2024 is estimated to be worth $427.98 billion, initially introduced its Start Path programmed in 2014. The programmed has worked with more than 400 businesses from more than 54 countries over the past ten years.
As a component of its collaborative innovation strategy, Mastercard is looking into potential future use cases alongside global entrepreneurs to scale innovative solutions. Through the virtual four-month programmed, high-potential blockchain, digital assets, and Web3 firms have access to Mastercard’s clients and channels, customized training, and opportunities for cooperation,” the payments behemoth stated in its statement.
For a while now, Mastercard has been leading the way in Web3 experimentation. In April of this year, Mastercard and 1Inch collaborated to provide cryptocurrency debit cards. In order to start a conversation about digital currencies, the organization has also previously introduced a CBDC partner programmed.
