Mastercard CFO: We see cryptocurrency as an asset class, not a payment instrument

Golden Finance reports that Sachin Mehra, CFO of Mastercard, recently shared his thoughts on cryptocurrencies. He said, “In the cryptocurrency world, when people use our debit and credit card products to buy cryptocurrencies, we act as an upstream channel. And when people want to cash out, we act as a downlink, meaning we help them get access to be able to use their cryptocurrency balances where MasterCard is accepted.” In addition, he believes that for anything to be a payment tool in our minds, it needs to have a store of value. If the value of something fluctuates from day to day, that’s a problem from a consumer mindset perspective. As a result, we see cryptocurrencies more as an asset class than as a payment tool. Mehra said there may be more room for stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) when it comes to payment instruments. (Bloomberg)
