Kraken 与支付卡巨头万事达卡合作,为英国和欧洲地区超过 1.5 亿商户的用户提供加密支付服务。
According to the official press release, the partnership will build upon the already established Kraken Pay, a recently launched feature from the crypto exchange that facilitates instant and borderless payments in more than 300 crypto assets and fiat.
As part of the crypto firmâs collaboration with Mastercard, Kraken plans to launch physical and digital debit cards in the next few weeks. Customers in the UK and Europe will be able to use these cards to spend their crypto holdings at over 150 million merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard.
此次合作旨在让加密货币支付更加便捷,弥合加密货币领域与现实世界之间的差距。对此次联合推出的加密货币支付服务感兴趣的Kraken客户可以注册加入候补名单。截至发稿时,Kraken网站上仍有9,518个名额可供加入候补名单。
Kraken 首席执行官 David Ripley 坚信加密货币能够改变传统支付系统。他认为与万事达卡的合作能够拓展加密货币作为日常支付方式在现实世界中的实用性。
Ripley在声明中表示:“我们的客户希望能够使用加密货币或稳定币轻松支付现实世界的商品和服务。我们与万事达卡的合作是实现这一愿景的重要一步。”
Executive Vice President of Global Partnerships at Mastercard, Scott Abrahams stated the payment firm is committed to exploring the possibilities available for virtual asset payments through partnerships with crypto firms like Kraken.
âWith a shared ambition to simplify, interoperate, and secure the digital asset ecosystem, we are proud to collaborate with Kraken and bring real value to their user base,â said Abrahams.
本月初,万事达卡区块链和数字资产执行副总裁 Raj Dhamodharan 表示,公司目前正在开发一个由区块链驱动的多代币网络。他补充道,由于新商业模式的巨大潜力,如今传统金融机构对采用加密货币和其他区块链技术的兴趣日益浓厚。
去年 2 月,这家支付公司宣布将在 2024 年将 30% 的交易代币化。该公司还重申了与加密货币公司合作的计划,以使加密货币支付更容易实现。
