Mastercard and Sei surveyed 40+ institutional leaders on blockchain selection criteria.
Macro & Markets ·
Mastercard and Sei conducted a survey of more than 40 institutional leaders to understand how organizations evaluate and select blockchains for integration. The research captures decision-making criteria among a cohort of institutional decision-makers as blockchain adoption accelerates across enterprise and financial infrastructure layers.
The survey represents a continuation of Mastercard's broader repositioning around blockchain settlement infrastructure. Mastercard has been expanding stablecoin-based settlement across multiple chains—including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and XRPL—supporting digital dollars like USDC, PYUSD, and RLUSD to enable 24/7 transaction clearing that bypasses traditional batch settlement windows. Sei's participation underscores the network's positioning as a platform for institutional blockchain adoption.
The full scope of the survey's findings—including which selection criteria ranked highest among respondents, whether results differed by institution type or geography, and specific recommendations emerging from the research—has not yet been detailed in available material.
