According to CoinMeta, the Cardano Foundation announced its participation in Mastercard’s crypto partner program, while the Ouroboros Leios has reached a new throughput milestone. The Cardano Foundation will collaborate with Mastercard and other participants, focusing on the areas of payments and stablecoins, covering cross-border capital flows, B2B transactions, and settlement, among others. This development is seen as an important step in connecting public blockchain infrastructure with global payments. Meanwhile, Charles Hoskinson also revealed that RealFi will be launched next month, aiming to bring stablecoin-based lending and real-world financial services to Cardano.
