The main focus of this partnership is to bring high levels of innovation, security, privacy, and interoperability in the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDCs) so that all sectors can adopt CBDC easily.
Raj Dhamodharan, the head of the digital assets at the MasterCard firm, said that MasterCard is looking toward the digitally driven future to bring essential values in the CBDC form of money so that people can easily use the other forms of money with CBDC.
It is worth it to note that Ripple, a San Francisco headquartered blockchain firm, is already a giant in the sector of blockchain technology powered payment services. In the present time, more than 20 Central Banks are in partnership with Ripple to get guidance & assistance over the development of digital currency, or say CBDC.
On the other hand, ConsenSys is a very big giant in the crypto sector. With a better & talented team, ConsenSys provides secured crypto & blockchain tools. In the crypto sector, ConsenSys is known for its popular crypto wallet Metmask, which allows people to trade different crypto assets easily under a decentralised ecosystem.
