BREAKING NEWS: Mastercard expands stablecoin settlement support with USDC, RLUSD, PYUSD, USDG, USDP and SoFiUSD across Ethereum, Solana, XRP Ledger, Base, Arbitrum and Polygon.
Mastercard expands settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday and weekend options
Enhanced capabilities will give issuers and acquirers more choice in how and when they settle transactions, supporting more time-sensitive payment flows.
FULL PRESS RELEASE:
Mastercard today announced plans to expand its settlement capabilities with additional intraday, weekend and holiday card settlement, supporting both fiat currencies and on-chain card settlement using regulated stablecoins.
Together, these enhancements will give issuers and acquirers greater flexibility in how they settle card-based transactions across Mastercard’s global payments network, helping improve liquidity management and expanding choice in how money moves.
Mastercard’s global payments network today supports a wide range of settlement models, enabling issuers and acquirers to operate in ways that align with their business, regulatory and liquidity needs.
These enhancements introduce greater flexibility in how partners manage settlement timing and liquidity while continuing to operate alongside existing processes. They are particularly relevant for use cases where timing and transparency are key, including cross-border payments, treasury and payouts.
Stablecoin-based settlement represents one of these options, allowing partners to incorporate regulated digital assets alongside existing processes as adoption evolves.
Mastercard will support settlement using regulated stablecoins including Circle’s USDC, which is already supporting early on-chain settlement flows in select markets, as well as Paxos-issued stablecoins including PYUSD, USDG and USDP, Ripple’s RLUSD and SoFi’s SoFiUSD. These stablecoins will be enabled across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, Base, Canton, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Tempo and XRPL.
ARQ (formerly known as DolarApp), CBW Bank, Cross River, Lead Bank and Nuvei are expected to be among the first to support stablecoin settlement optionality in the United States and Latin America, with further expansion planned through 2026.
Mastercard’s expansion of stablecoin settlement optionality builds upon earlier pilots and initial live deployments, reinforcing the company’s broader strategy to support stablecoins and digital assets responsibly across acceptance, settlement and programmable payment flows.
Designed as a scalable, network‑level enhancement, Mastercard’s settlement enhancements will allow partners to access both traditional and digital asset-based settlement through the same global infrastructure they use today. This approach ensures consistency, scalability and interoperability across Mastercard’s global ecosystem while preserving existing protections including security standards, fraud safeguards and dispute processes.
“The next phase of stablecoin adoption is about real-world utility, especially in settlement, where timing and liquidity matter most,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. “By introducing intraday and weekend on settlement options across our global network, we’re expanding how partners manage liquidity and operate in an always-on digital economy while maintaining the trust, resilience and safeguards they expect from Mastercard.”
Mastercard remains committed to bringing emerging technologies into established payments infrastructure in a way that is scalable, interoperable and aligned with regulatory frameworks — helping partners adopt on-chain capabilities without disrupting existing operating models.
The expanded settlement capabilities will continue to roll out globally, subject to regulation, with additional regions, partners, and regulated stablecoins expected to be added over time.
“At ARQ, stablecoins have been core to our infrastructure from day one. They’re how we deliver real-time, cross-border financial solutions at a fraction of traditional costs,” said Álvaro Correa, co-founder and chief operating officer, ARQ. “Partnering with Mastercard to enable on-chain settlement is a major step toward building the financial infrastructure we envision for the Americas.”
“As demand grows for faster and more flexible movement of money, organizations are increasingly seeking infrastructure that can operate beyond traditional banking hours,” said Kash Razzaghi, chief commercial officer, Circle. “Mastercard’s expanded settlement capabilities help meet that need, offering greater choice in how value is transferred and settled. We’re proud to support these efforts through USDC and help advance the use of regulated stablecoins in global payments.”
“We've seen firsthand the accelerating demand from our partners for faster, more transparent settlement — and stablecoins have emerged as a powerful tool to meet that need,” said Luca Cosentino, head of on-chain finance at Cross River. “Mastercard's decision to bring on-chain settlement to its global network validates what we've been building toward: a future where digital asset rails operate seamlessly alongside traditional payments infrastructure. Cross River is thrilled to be at the forefront of this evolution."
“Partnering with Mastercard to help bring this network to life reflects Lead’s commitment to building the rails that make regulated digital assets practical for institutions and their customers at scale,” said Jackie Reses, CEO and co-founder, Lead Bank. “At Lead, we believe the future of financial infrastructure is 24/7, and on-chain settlement is where that future becomes real. We’re proud to be among the first platforms to deliver this capability in the United States and see this as a foundational step toward a more efficient, always-on financial system.”
“As part of Nuvei’s broader strategy to bring stablecoin capabilities into payments infrastructure, this collaboration with Mastercard extends settlement options alongside traditional payment rails, creating new opportunities for customers to improve liquidity, streamline global disbursements, and gain greater flexibility in how funds move,” said Phil Fayer, CEO, Nuvei.
“The future of settlement is programmable, instant and global,” said Peter Jonas, chief revenue officer, Paxos.
“Paxos’s regulated infrastructure gives partners like Mastercard a trusted path to on-chain settlement using PYUSD, USDG, and USDP that works seamlessly alongside existing systems, helping advance more efficient payment flows.”
“Mastercard’s move into on-chain settlement is a landmark validation that blockchain technology is ready for the world’s most critical payment infrastructure,” said Jack McDonald, senior vice president, Stablecoins, Ripple. “RLUSD’s inclusion in Mastercard’s global settlement network reflects growing demand for trusted, regulated stablecoins built for real-world financial use cases on public blockchains like the XRP Ledger. We’re excited to support the next evolution of faster, more flexible, always-on settlement.”

Researchers Let AI Models Run Simulated Societies: Grok Collapsed In 4 Days, Claude Built Order
Grok Society Collapses
The test came from Emergence AI, a New York lab that built a platform called Emergence World to watch agents operate over weeks without human oversight. Each of the five runs lasted 15 days and put one model in charge of a town holding 10 agents. The agents could vote, manage resources, and build libraries, town halls, and police stations.Full story on Yellow Media: https://yellow.com/news/ai-models-simulated-societies-grok-collapsed
Amazon Rose 1,000x After Its Crash, Standard Chartered Says Ethereum Is Next
Ethereum’s (ETH) current market weakness resembles Amazon during the aftermath of the dot-com crash, according to a note from Standard Chartered’s Geoffrey Kendrick, who argued that the asset’s internal network metrics continue improving even as ETH price performance lags sharply behind.
Kendrick on Thursday compared Ethereum’s current position to comments Jeff Bezos made years after Amazon’s stock collapsed during the 2001 tech bust.
“The stock is not the company. And the company is not the stock,” Bezos said in a 2018 speech reflecting on Amazon’s post-dotcom recovery. “While the stock price was going the wrong way, everything inside the company was going the right way.”
Kendrick said the same dynamic now applies to Ethereum. FULL STORY on Yellow Media

AixAlpha on Sunday launched what it describes as the first AI-powered quantitative trading system for XRP (XRP).
The same firm separately announced an expansion of its Bitcoin (BTC) quantitative infrastructure, citing rising volatility as the demand driver.
What AixAlpha Announced
The XRP system processes market activity data in real time to generate and execute trading decisions. AixAlpha describes it as a "first" in the XRP-specific quant space, though independent verification of that claim is not available.

Flare TVL Doubles To $457M As XRPFi Race Heats Up Before ETF Wave Spot XRP (XRP) ETFs could absorb $4 billion to $8 billion by year-end under a Standard Chartered model tied to permanent commodity status, while Flare has grown into the largest XRPFi ecosystem by total value locked.
Flare TVL Hits $457M The forecast hinges on passage of the CLARITY Act, which would codify XRP's classification as a digital commodity under federal law. It also raises a practical question for institutional allocators: where XRP capital earns yield once it sits inside a fund wrapper. The token was not designed for programmable finance, and dedicated onchain infrastructure is relatively new.
Bitcoin Holds Above $81,000 As Macro Attention Returns
Bitcoin (BTC) traded at approximately $81,250 on Sunday evening, according to CoinGecko data.
The 24-hour price change came in at positive 0.7% in USD terms. Market cap sat at $1.62 trillion, with daily trading volume of $21.6 billion.
Stability While Altcoins Move Bitcoin's near-flat session contrasted sharply with other trending assets.
Sui (SUI) gained 24%. SWEAT (SWEAT) surged more than 257%. TROLL (TROLL), a Solana (SOL)-based meme token, added roughly 98%. Bitcoin moved less than 1% in the same window.
That pattern is consistent with altcoin season dynamics. FULL STORY: https://yellow.com/news/bitcoin-trades-above-81000-market-cap-1-6-trillion-may-2026

Professional crypto traders have long faced a difficult tradeoff: centralized exchanges provide fast execution and deep liquidity, but require surrendering custody of assets. Most decentralized exchanges solve the custody issue but still struggle with latency, fragmented liquidity, and inefficient market structure.
Yellow Pro and Yellow Network are attempting to bridge that gap.
Using off-chain state channel technology, Yellow aims to deliver near-centralized exchange speed while preserving self-custody and decentralized settlement. For professional traders, this could mean faster execution, lower latency, smoother orderbook trading, and reduced counterparty risk.
What makes Yellow stand out is its broader vision. Rather than operating as just another perpetual DEX, Yellow is building a decentralized clearing and liquidity network designed to connect traders, brokers, market makers, and exchanges across multiple chains.
The platform focuses heavily on:
For scalpers, arbitrage desks, quantitative traders, and market makers, Yellow’s architecture represents a potential evolution of crypto trading infrastructure, combining centralized exchange performance with decentralized ownership and interoperability.
