Bleap and Mastercard Team Up on Stablecoin Payments

Bleap Partners with Mastercard to Improve Stablecoin Payments with Non-Custodial Debit Card for Seamless Global Transactions

TTari•Apr 18, 2025
Bleap and Mastercard Team Up on Stablecoin Payments

Bleap has partnered with Mastercard to enhance stablecoin payments. It is launching a non-custodial debit card. You’ll soon be able to use your stablecoins (such as USDC or EURC) to pay at over 150 million stores worldwide that accept MasterCard without needing to convert to fiat or use a bank. 

This partnership aims to make stablecoin payments a seamless reality in the real world, bridging the gap between your cryptocurrency wallet and everyday spending.

From DeFi to Daily Purchases

Bleap made a loud entrance in December with its self-custodial wallet, offering one-click access to DeFi yields. It also provided zero fees for buying and selling stablecoins, as well as complete control over your funds. Through debit card services, users can use cryptocurrency to make cash payments regardless of time or location.

Through this collaborative effort, users address a significant issue: most existing payment systems continue to operate through banks that do not support budget-centric wallet management. That makes it difficult for crypto users to utilize their digital assets daily, but Bleap and Mastercard are changing that.

What the Founders Are Saying

Joao Alves, co-founder of Bleap, said it best:

Your funds stay controlled while working seamlessly with Mastercard’s global payment rails. There are no extra steps and no hidden middlemen. Scott Abrahams from Mastercard added: “Digital currencies are a critical part of the global economy. Our Web3 card program helps partners like Bleap unlock new levels of accessibility.”

In other words, Mastercard is betting on crypto becoming a regular part of everyday payments, and Bleap is a key player in making that happen.

Extra Perks for Users

Bleap functions more than an average transaction platform. It helps users maximize their dollar usage. With Bleap, users can:

  • Earn up to 2% cashback.
  • Users have access to actual exchange rates for currency swaps on Bleap.
  • Earn 5% on EUR and 11% on USD.
  • Send money globally for free.

Stablecoins facilitate inexpensive, swift transactions that also transcend borders without limitations. After its beta release, Bleap facilitated over $5 million worth of transactions. With this, users save $100,000 despite onboarding thousands of KYC-compliant users.

Conclusion 

Bleap and Mastercard are actively leading the movement to establish stablecoin payments as a mainstream method of transaction. By blending the best of blockchain and tradifi, they’re building a future where crypto is something you use. The new Bleap card enables easy and stablecoin spending through wallet-tapped transactions, including shopping, savings, and international transfers.
