NFTs or non-fungible tokens are digital collectibles that are built on blockchain and are traditionally purchased via cryptocurrencies. Mastercard is now looking to expand payment options for these digital collectibles.

In a blog post published on June 9, Raj Dhamodharan, an executive vice president at the company, said it had partnered with Immutable X, Candy Digital, The Sandbox, Mintable, Spring, Nifty Gateway and MoonPay to enable NFT commerce.
“We’re working with these companies to allow people to use their Mastercard cards for NFTs purchases, whether that’s on one of these companies’ marketplaces or using their crypto services,” he said. “With 2.9 billion Mastercard cards worldwide, this change could have a big impact on the NFT ecosystem.”
The 56-year-old financial services corporation Mastercard is aiming to eliminate the need for NFT buyers to first own cryptocurrencies.
The credit and debit card provider recently surveyed over 35,000 people in 40 countries. The results from this finding show that 45 percent people had purchased an NFT or would consider doing so.
