According to The Block, Mastercard announced at Money20/20 USA the launch of Stablecoin Security, a risk intelligence service for stablecoins. The service enables financial institutions to assess stablecoin payment risks before funds are on-chain by tracing the origin of funds, identifying potential links to fraud, scams, sanctions violations, and other financial crimes, and generating a risk score based on transaction context. Banks can integrate the score into their existing risk and compliance systems via API. Borderless.xyz and Keyrails are the first partners. The service will initially launch in North America, with global commercial availability expected by 2027.
Mastercard, citing research from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), states that of the 141 million transactions on Ethereum in 2025, there were 593 million stablecoin transfer events, nearly 60% of which occurred in complex, multi-step transactions rather than simple one-to-one payments.
