TradFi Integration (Mastercard & Tokenized Treasuries 💳)

Mastercard has acquired BVNK, a London-based stablecoin payments and infrastructure provider, marking a major step into digital asset services. The acquisition strengthens Mastercard’s ability to offer stablecoin settlement rails and integrate tokenized assets into its global payments network.

At the same time, tokenized U.S. Treasuries have surpassed $11B in total value locked (TVL), hitting record highs in March 2026. Growth is driven by institutional demand for on-chain yield-bearing assets, with platforms like $ONDO Finance, Franklin Templeton’s BENJI tokens, and Maple Finance leading adoption.

Tokenized Treasuries are now one of the fastest-growing segments in DeFi, bridging traditional finance (#TradFi ) with blockchain infrastructure.
