Mastercard will offer Open USD (OUSD), a dollar-pegged stablecoin created by the Open Standard consortium, through its recently acquired stablecoin infrastructure firm BVNK. Launched on September 30, 2026, OUSD operates across multiple blockchains including Base, Ethereum, Solana, and Tempo, allowing flexible token movement. BVNK, acquired by Mastercard for up to $1.8 billion, provides a global payment network in over 130 countries and holds key regulatory licenses like the EU's MiCA. This move leverages BVNK's scale and regulatory groundwork to distribute OUSD widely, backed by over 200 companies and $1 billion in liquidity, potentially reshaping stablecoin adoption and payments.
