Mastercard debuts "Crypto Credential" to bolster secure crypto payments, simplifying peer-to-peer transactions across Europe and Latin America. Users can now generate a Mastercard username to facilitate Bitcoin and various cryptocurrency exchanges in regions like Brazil, Argentina, and France.

Walter Pimenta, Mastercard's EVP of Product and Engineering for Latin America and the Caribbean, stresses secure transactions in the burgeoning blockchain and digital assets sector. "As interest in blockchain and digital assets grows, trust and verifiability are paramount," Pimenta asserts.

Typically, crypto transactions rely on intricate wallet addresses, prone to errors and potential fund losses. Mastercard's solution alerts senders if the recipient's wallet doesn't support the asset or blockchain, averting possible losses.

Additionally, the service combats scammers utilizing lookalike addresses to dupe users. By truncating wallet addresses, only displaying a few characters, fraudsters' tactics are thwarted.
