In a bold move to bring digital asset payments closer to mainstream financial systems, Alchemy Pay today entered into a strategic collaboration with MasterCard’s crypto partner program. The partnership enabled Alchemy Pay to integrate its fiat-crypto payment gateway with Mastercard to bring crypto payment services to everyday use, tapping into Mastercard’s crypto partner program that includes over 85 crypto firms, payment providers, and financial institutions, all operating to fix real-world payment challenges.
Alchemy Pay is a payment gateway built to connect crypto and global fiat currencies for businesses and users. Its on-off ramp solution is integrated with various Web3 platforms and decentralized applications across all sub-sectors, including DEXs, DeFi, gaming CEXs, SocialFi, NFT marketplaces, and many others, providing an easy application from fiat currencies to crypto payment services.

Bridging Crypto With TradFI
The partnership above means Alchemy Pay is now officially part of the Mastercard crypto partner program, now working with Mastercard to connect crypto assets with everyday commerce and card issuers. Mastercard launched its crypto partner program in March, an initiative that brings together more than 85 organizations, including major financial players like PayPal, Binance, Circle, Ripple, and several others, redefining how cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies are being utilized in the global financial system.
The integration of Alchemy Pay’s fiat-crypto payment gateway with Mastercard’s crypto partner program strengthens Alchemy Pay’s ability to deliver more seamless cross-border payments through crypto settlements, efficient fiat-to-crypto connectivity across global markets, and practical ecosystems for B2B payments and fund flows. Mastercard’s well-established financial solutions provider enables efficient connectivity between Web2 and Web3 ecosystems. Its integration deepens Alchemy Pay’s mission to promote the global adoption of cryptocurrency by connecting fiat and crypto economies.
Crypto: From Speculative Tool To Financial Infrastructure
Together with Mastercard’s crypto partner program, Alchemy Pay is building an ecosystem capable of delivering effective cross-border payments powered by crypto/stablecoin settlements, fiat-to-crypto on/off-ramp solutions for consumers and institutions, and streamlined B2B payments and fund distribution.
From an economic perspective, Alchemy’s integration into Mastercard’s crypto partner program has a crucial impact on cross-border money movement. Traditional global payments rely on centralized banking networks, which often involve numerous intermediaries, high fees, and significant delays.
The partnership above shows continued adoption and growth of Mastercard’s crypto partner program. Since its launch in March, several institutions such as Binance, Solana, Modern Treasury, MetaComp, and many others have continued joining Mastercard’s crypto partner program. This program is driven by a blockchain-based settlement system that enables real-time transfers and automated clearing, improving liquidity management for institutions engaging in global trade and reducing costs associated with cross-border financial transactions.
