Mastercard launches Stablecoin Security as Coinbase and Thunes widen payouts
- —Stablecoin Security screens transactions pre-settlement, including sanctions risk
- —Borderless.xyz and Keyrails are among the first backers; global rollout expected in 2027
- —Coinbase and Thunes enable payouts via local banks and wallets in 140+ countries
- —Thunes' Direct Global Network covers 90 currencies
Why it matters: Better screening and payout rails address trust and access, but sustained stablecoin payment demand is still unproven.
