Mastercard Announces NFT Partnerships

On June 9, Raj Dhamodharan, an executive vice president of Mastercard, announced that the company had partnered with Immutable X, Candy Digital, The Sandbox, Mintable, Spring, Nifty Gateway, and MoonPay to enable NFT commerce.

According to Raj Dhamodharan, Mastercard has been working over the past year to make the integration work. He adds that the partnerships are aimed at making the way people around the world purchase NFTs easier. 

Mastercard is working with these companies to allow people to buy NFTs using their Mastercard cards via the companies’ marketplaces or using their crypto services. 

This would significantly reduce the hassle involved in purchasing NFTs. To purchase NFTs now, you need to fund a crypto wallet with ETH, Solana, or the crypto used on the market. With Mastercard, people will be able to buy NFTs with fiat.
