On April 1, Business Insider reported that Mastercard is developing a "Multi-Token Network" with the goal of replicating the success of its traditional payment network and providing digital asset trading infrastructure for consumers, merchants and financial institutions. This system will integrate asset flows both upstream and offline chains to ensure compliance and optimize the user experience. Mastercard has cooperated with JPMorgan Chase and Standard Chartered to explore scenarios such as cross-border payments and carbon credit tokenization. Since 2015, it has applied for more than 250 blockchain-related patents.
