Mastercard, Bakkt offer crypto-based credit, debit cards
Cryptocurrency exchange Bakkt is partnering with Mastercard (MA) to offer crypto debit and credit cards, making it easier for consumers to pay using digital coins.
Via Mastercard and Bakkt (BKKT), businesses and banks will be able to issue their own branded crypto debit and credit cards to consumers who want them. Holders can use bitcoin purchased through Bakkt with the card, or link to a fiat-based funding source, and receive bitcoin rewards.
Bakkt’s stock, which publicly listed on the NYSE on October 18, skyrocketed by over 30% at Monday's opening bell, adding to Friday's advance of over 13%.
With the Mastercard partnership, companies will also be able to offer crypto as part of their loyalty reward programs backed by Bakkt. For instance, hotels or restaurants who offer points for freebies or other perks could also offer customers the option to convert the points into cryptocurrency of their choosing.
