[Mastercard Europe's Head of Crypto: Closely Monitoring Crypto Assets, But Will Not Deviate From Established Direction] Foresight News reports that Grégory Raymond tweeted that Christian Rau, Mastercard Europe's Head of Crypto, recently stated in an interview that Mastercard is closely monitoring crypto assets but will not deviate from its established direction. 'Our strategy has not changed in 50 years: enabling people to pay securely and compliantly, and enabling businesses to receive payments. Cryptocurrencies are part of this logic. We are not looking to completely overhaul the system but to enrich it. Our priority is interoperability with existing solutions. However, if no solution meets our needs, we may consider developing our own.'
