Mastercard has launched a cryptographic authentication solution for people in the UAE and Kazakhstan in the EEMEA region.
Cumbersome and complex blockchain addresses have finally been relegated to the crypto graveyard. Why remember a blockchain address when you can send and receive cryptocurrencies using a simple alias?
Built through partnerships with exchanges such as ATAIX Eurasia, Intebix, and CoinMENA, this innovative technology makes trading smoother and safer. Additionally, it ensures that the recipient’s wallet supports the assets you transfer, minimizing errors and building trust.
“Cryptocurrency is mature and we are committed to making it accessible, secure and trustworthy,” said Gaurang, Executive Vice President, EEMEA Core Payments, Mastercard. Shah said. With this move, Mastercard further strengthens its vision to transform the way people interact with digital assets.
