Currently, this ground-breaking technology is available on the Bit2Me, Lirium, and Mercado Bitcoin exchanges, enabling more safe and convenient blockchain transactions throughout Latin America and Europe. 
This service will be available in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, France, and more, enabling users to conduct cross-border and domestic transfers across multiple currencies and blockchains. Foxbit and Lulubit will join the ecosystem, expanding the service to more consumers. 
The Mastercard Crypto Credential system verifies interactions on blockchain networks, ensuring security and compliance with verification standards. It confirms recipient wallet compatibility, prevents fund loss, and supports regulatory compliance for cross-border transactions. 
Once a user is verified under Mastercard’s standards, they receive an alias for sending and receiving funds. When initiating a transaction, Mastercard verifies the recipient’s alias and wallet compatibility. If the recipient’s wallet does not support the digital asset or blockchain, the transaction is stopped, preventing errors and losses. 
Walter Pimenta, executive vice president of product and engineering, Latin America and the Caribbean at Mastercard, stated, “Mastercard continues to invest in its technology, standards, and partnerships to bring safe, simple, and secure payments to the forefront.”&nbsp; 
Mastercard is paving the way for broader adoption of digital assets by simplifying the transaction process and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.&nbsp;
