Mastercard's $14.46 Billion Trading Day Sees 33rd Ranking as Zebec Network Launches Crypto Debit Card

On March 28, 2025, Mastercard's trading volume reached $14.46 billion, ranking 33rd in the day's stock market activity. Mastercard (MA) fell by 3.04%.

Zebec Network, a payments protocol built on the Solana blockchain, has launched its crypto debit card, Zebec Carbon, in collaboration with Mastercard. The card aims to bridge the gap between cryptocurrencies and traditional finance by enabling seamless spending of digital assets at any location where Mastercard is accepted. Zebec Carbon offers several key features, including instant activation, zero fees, complete privacy, and compatibility with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Unlike traditional bank-linked debit cards, Zebec Carbon is funded with stablecoins such as USDC, which are converted into fiat at a 1:1 ratio at the time of payment. The card has a limit of $1,000 per transaction and a maximum daily spending cap of $10,000. One of the standout features of Zebec Carbon is its privacy-first approach. The card does not require standard ID checks, ensuring that users’ spending activity remains undisclosed. For U.S. residents, approval is instant, which lowers the barrier for getting started. This launch positions Zebec Network as a significant player in the growing movement of crypto platforms integrating digital assets into everyday transactions.

Mastercard itself has been making significant moves in the blockchain space. The company recently integrated its Multi-Token Network (MTN) with J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys Digital Payments platform to facilitate cross-border blockchain transactions. This collaboration aims to enhance the transparency and speed of global payments, reduce settlement times, and address operational inefficiencies in international transactions. With more companies stepping into crypto payments, the lines between traditional banking and digital assets continue to blur. The Zebec Network’s new card is just the latest sign that spending crypto like cash is moving from idea to everyday reality. This development highlights the growing acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies into mainstream financial systems, paving the way for more innovative solutions in the future.
