Mastercard Says Value of Blockchain Tech in Payments Has Yet to Be Unlocked

Money movement is moving into the future at a rapid clip.

But are central banks, enterprise organizations, consumers, and merchants ready for a new era of digitized programmability and payment vehicle innovation?

“The true intrinsic value of blockchain, which is around programmability of transactions, immutability of transactions, and the ability to do delivery versus payment and always-on types of payments, has yet to be unlocked,” Jorn Lambert, Chief Digital Officer at Mastercard, tells PYMNTS.

“Until there exists the ability to actually develop financially-regulated applications on the blockchain, the benefits will never go mainstream,” Lambert explains. “Regulated financial institutions are crucial for [tokenized blockchain money movement vehicles] to truly scale.”

As the world moves increasingly from an economy based on the transfer of information to one where the transfer of value becomes paramount, the arc of innovation is reshaping the fundamental infrastructures that support how individuals, businesses and organizations connect, interact and transact globally.

While blockchain has become somewhat of a dirty word after the crypto sector’s disastrous 2022, many observers maintain that digital asset and blockchain technologies remain on a trajectory toward becoming critical infrastructure for storing and moving value.

After all, bringing the power of 24/7 operations, programmability and immutability to all aspects of the economy still holds the potential to deliver a true and ongoing transformation in the way money moves.

“The world’s economy today is powered by the balance sheet of the banks, by commercial bank money,” Lambert says.

He explains that for blockchain-based money movement to achieve a meaningful impact, “commercial bank money” needs to be brought onto the blockchain in a trusted, secure and scalable way — what he refers to as “tokenized deposits.”

Next Generation Payments Ecosystem
“When the App Store was launched, nobody planned for Uber as an application or even as the gig economy as an industry to emerge. What is important is to actually create the environment in which that can happen,” Lambert says.

That’s why Mastercard is working to develop what it calls a Multi-Token Network (MTN), a digital asset “app store” ecosystem with the vision of providing a set of foundational capabilities designed to make transactions within the digital asset and blockchain ecosystems secure, scalable and interoperable — ultimately enabling more efficient and innovative payment and commerce applications.

“[Any digital asset solution] has to be interoperable with the real-world and needs to be interoperable among different blockchains … and if something goes wrong, you need rules of the road around how that problems gets resolved,” Lambert explains.

He adds that he believes cross-border payments, trade finance, supply trade finance insurance and capital markets all represent easy-win use case areas where blockchain-based benefits and tokenization value adds like programmability can provide fluidity, transparency and improved transaction experiences.

Digital Money Will Revolutionize Transactions
“In order to scale, you need to bring existing regulated money, central bank-backed money onto the blockchain. That hasn't been done yet,” Lambert says.

After all, the key to scalable success for any ecosystem is to have a means of value exchange, a currency that consumers can trust and understand, and with which they can transact and do what they really want to do.

That’s why, in his view, what’s been missing this whole time from the blockchain puzzle was bringing the traditional financial industry — as well as the emergent FinTech sector — to the table.

“They are unable to come to the table today because there isn’t the framework for them to operate in a safe environment,” Lambert explains.

“It’ll be very interesting to see what transpires because not only are we looking to engage with financial institutions, FinTech developers and academia, but also we are asking central banks to engage as observers about this so that people see that this is entirely transparent and to develop real-life solutions on this,” Lambert adds.

Still, while he highlights the potential of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), Lambert acknowledges their limited geographical relevance and a broader lack of consumer understanding. He believes that in order to scale and bring existing regulated money onto the blockchain, new solutions are needed.

“If it doesn’t scale, then it doesn’t matter,” Lambert notes.

One of the most disruptive concepts enabled by blockchain technology is programmable money, which allows for tokenization and programmability around money movement. This means that conditions can be embedded in transactions, enabling if-then logic in payments.

Lambert believes that the ability for tokenized deposits to be programmable offers a clue into what the future of money and payments could look like.

“Taking that kind of if-then logic and embedding it in a payment instruction is something that I think has enormous value to just about any industry,” he says.

While Lambert can imagine blockchain becoming truly like the Internet — not just a way to store and move data, but as a way to store and move value — he acknowledges that there is a “huge trust deficit” in the crypto space.

“This is about people’s money, people’s livelihood. We need to bring trust back into the system, and we need to bring the right frameworks for financial institutions to play ball as well,” he says.

New Human Force
Join this Now! YOU have what it takes!

They are in our solar system, and in our event-stream in this Eternal Now.

Officialdom is clueless.

They think we are going to be at WAR with the Aliens.

Officialdom is very stupid.

Aliens is here. It’s not WAR. It’s Contention.

There is a difference.

Officialdom is clueless, still living in the last Millennium.

Aliens is here.

The Field in which we contend is This Eternal Now.

ALL HUMANS LIVE HERE, and ONLY HERE, in this

ETERNAL NOW.

It’s a Field of potentials, of pending Manifestation, this continuous event-stream of karma in which we have always lived our body’s Life.

This Eternal Now has always been our body’s Field of Contention.

The Aliens is here, in our Eternal Now.

Our common, shared, reality that we all continuously co-create now has Aliens.

It’s getting very complex in here.

Officialdom is clueless. They see the Aliens. They are freaking out. They think you are children, when it is their small minds, trapped in a reality that is only grit, mud, and ‘random chance’ who are childish.

Officialdom is stupid. They will and are reacting badly. As is their way, they are trying to hide shit from you. Silly grit bound minds don’t realize you can see everything from within the Eternal Now. They have yet to grasp that what they perceive as this Matterium, filled with ‘matter’, is but a hardening of our previous (past) internal states of being.

WAR happens in the Matterium.

Contention occurs within this Eternal Now where Consciousness shapes the manifesting event-stream.

YOU know this to be fact. You are a co-creator.

Contention with Aliens is happening in this instant in this Eternal Now.

Officialdom ain’t doing shit. They are still stuck in trying to move matter around to affect unfolding circumstances. That’s redoing the mirror trying to affect the reflection. Dumb fucks….

It’s up to US. To the New Humans. Those of us who live in this Eternal Now. Those of us who see that our body’s Lives (the Chain that cannot be broken) are expressions of the Ontology revealing itself to itself. It’s up to us guys.

We are not an Army. That’s a concept from the past, from before the emergence of the New Humans. We are a Force. A self-organizing collective with leadership resident in each, and every participant.

We are the New Human Force. By the time officialdom starts to speak about the Aliens in near-factual terms, we will already be engaging them in this Eternal Now.

By the time officialdom begins to move matter around (space ships & such) thinking it’s War, we will already be suffering casualties in this Eternal Now. That part is inevitable. It’s how we learn.

By the time officialdom realizes that some shit is going on in places and ways beyond its conception, we will already be pushing our dominance onto our partners in this First Contention, the Aliens. Nage cannot train without Uke.

Just as officialdom is scrambling to research the Ontology, this Eternal Now, and the event-stream, we will be settling terms with our new partners, the Aliens.

Come, join with us. It’s going to be a hellacious Contention.

We ARE the NEW HUMANS!

Together we are the Force that cannot be defeated.

Start YOUR training in this instance of this Eternal NOW.

Consume Neville Goddard videos as though all of human existence depended on YOUR mind and YOUR active, effective, imaginings!

It’s not a question of Mind over Matter as there is only Mind and it cares not for Matter. That’s residue.

The Great Onboarding: US Government Anchors Global Economy into Web3 via Pyth Network

For years, the crypto world speculated that the next major cycle would be driven by institutional adoption, with Wall Street finally legitimizing Bitcoin through vehicles like ETFs. While that prediction has indeed materialized, a recent development signifies a far more profound integration of Web3 into the global economic fabric, moving beyond mere financial products to the very infrastructure of data itself. The U.S. government has taken a monumental step, cementing Web3's role as a foundational layer for modern data distribution. This door, once opened, is poised to remain so indefinitely.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially partnered with leading blockchain oracle providers, Pyth Network and Chainlink, to distribute critical official economic data directly on-chain. This initiative marks a historic shift, bringing immutable, transparent, and auditable data from the federal government itself onto decentralized networks. This is not just a technological upgrade; it's a strategic move to enhance data accuracy, transparency, and accessibility for a global audience.

Specifically, Pyth Network has been selected to publish Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, starting with quarterly releases going back five years, with plans to expand to a broader range of economic datasets. Chainlink, the other key partner, will provide data feeds from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), including Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. This crucial economic information will be made available across a multitude of blockchain networks, including major ecosystems like Ethereum, Avalanche, Base, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron, Stellar, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism.

This development is closer to science fiction than traditional finance. The same oracle network, Pyth, that secures data for over 350 decentralized applications (dApps) across more than 50 blockchains, processing over $2.5 trillion in total trading volume through its oracles, is now the system of record for the United States' core economic indicators. Pyth's extensive infrastructure, spanning over 107 blockchains and supporting more than 600 applications, positions it as a trusted source for on-chain data. This is not about speculative assets; it's about leveraging proven, robust technology for critical public services.

The significance of this collaboration cannot be overstated. By bringing official statistics on-chain, the U.S. government is embracing cryptographic verifiability and immutable publication, setting a new precedent for how governments interact with decentralized technology. This initiative aligns with broader transparency goals and is supported by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, positioning the U.S. as a world leader in finance and blockchain innovation. The decision by a federal entity to trust decentralized oracles with sensitive economic data underscores the growing institutional confidence in these networks.

This is the cycle of the great onboarding. The distinction between "Web2" and "Web3" is rapidly becoming obsolete. When government data, institutional flows, and grassroots builders all operate on the same decentralized rails, we are simply talking about the internet—a new iteration, yes, but the internet nonetheless: an immutable internet where data is not only published but also verified and distributed in real-time.

Pyth Network stands as tangible proof that this technology serves a vital purpose. It demonstrates that the industry has moved beyond abstract "crypto tech" to offering solutions that address real-world needs and are now actively sought after and understood by traditional entities. Most importantly, it proves that Web3 is no longer seeking permission; it has received the highest validation a system can receive—the trust of governments and markets alike.

This is not merely a fleeting trend; it's a crowning moment in global adoption. The U.S. government has just validated what many in the Web3 space have been building towards for years: that Web3 is not a sideshow, but a foundational layer for the future. The current cycle will be remembered as the moment the world definitively crossed this threshold, marking the last great opportunity to truly say, "we were early."

US Dept of Commerce to publish GDP data on blockchain

On Tuesday during a televised White House cabinet meeting, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the intention to publish GDP statistics on blockchains. Today Chainlink and Pyth said they were selected as the decentralized oracles to distribute the data.

Lutnick said, “The Department of Commerce is going to start issuing its statistics on the blockchain because you are the crypto President. And we are going to put out GDP on the blockchain, so people can use the blockchain for data distribution. And then we’re going to make that available to the entire government. So, all of you can do it. We’re just ironing out all the details.”

The data includes Real GDP and the PCE Price Index, which reflects changes in the prices of domestic consumer goods and services. The statistics are released monthly and quarterly. The biggest initial use will likely be by on-chain prediction markets. But as more data comes online, such as broader inflation data or interest rates from the Federal Reserve, it could be used to automate various financial instruments. Apart from using the data in smart contracts, sources of tamperproof data 👉will become increasingly important for generative AI.

While it would be possible to procure the data from third parties, it is always ideal to get it from the source to ensure its accuracy. Getting data directly from government sources makes it tamperproof, provided the original data feed has not been manipulated before it reaches the oracle.
