According to Finextra, payment giant Mastercard announced that it has launched a new functional solution that supports the tokenization (or packaging) of central bank digital currencies (CBDC) on different blockchains, providing consumers with more payment options. It is reported that the solution is part of the Australian central bank's digital currency project. In a live verification environment, Mastercard also demonstrated how the solution enables pilot CBDC holders to purchase NFTs listed on the Ethereum public blockchain by "locking" the required amount of pilot central bank digital currencies on the Australian central bank's pilot CBDC platform and minting an equal amount of pilot CBDC package tokens on Ethereum, and then completing the transaction.
