Mastercard ‘Crypto Partner Program’ March 2026

Hi, I’d like to mention a new Pie Focus I began working on.

In March of this year, Mastercard launched its global Crypto Partner Program, a new financial partnership consisting of 85 organisations worldwide. I believe this is the start of the next financial era in the making. The large shift towards digital assets, tokenisation and cryptography is obvious now, pushed from different agendas and many different moving parts.

I am building this Pie around that focus and initiative. It will be a small % of a wider portfolio in my ISA. I am essentially quite new to saving/investing in this way but I have followed other avenues and with this new program releasing around the time I started putting money into my ISA, I felt it a certain niche avenue I can explore, where I am also a little more wiser.

I would be keen to hear people’s opinions about the program itself, if people are aware of it, or generally any opinions around maybe the best ways to invest in this alongside a long term portfolio (Basically VWRP, and a little gold exposure.) was also toying with the idea of a Blockchain ETF etc
