This includes helping create crypto-enabled loyalty programs and developing strategies for crypto and NFT integration. Apart from this, Mastercard will use its partnerships with \u201cdigitally native firms\u201d to offer crypto solutions and help businesses enter new markets. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the global financial institution is also focusing on assisting central banks as they explore the creation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). According to Mastercard, its testing platform allows central banks to perform research, testing and consultation with experts in payment systems, regulation and governance before launching their CBDCs. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>ConsenSys launches Rollups for privacy-enabled transactions on Ethereum blockchain with support of Mastercard<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In December 2021, Mastercard\u2019s Liza Oakes, executive vice president of market development, had a chat with Cointelegraph\u2019s editor-in-chief Kristina Corn\u00e8r at Global Impact Week. According to Oakes, aside from CBDCs, the firm is also looking into \u201cstablecoins and how to support their developments.\u201d Oakes also recognized that there are security challenges in the realm of NFTs and mentioned that the company is developing solutions for this. <\/p>\n<p>Last month, Mastercard partnered with Coinbase to allow non-crypto users to be able to purchase NFTs with their credit cards, without setting up a wallet and buying Ethereum (ETH). With this, purchasing NFTs in the Coinbase NFT marketplace is simplified for crypto beginners who want to use their fiat. <\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"crypto_biz\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
