  There could be several reasons why your Mastercard was declined for a cryptocurrency transaction. One possibility is that your bank or credit card issuer has restrictions in place that prevent transactions with cryptocurrency exchanges. Another reason could be that the transaction was flagged as suspicious or potentially fraudulent. It's also possible that there was an issue with the exchange's payment processing system at the time of your transaction. To resolve this, you can try contacting your bank or credit card issuer to inquire about their policies regarding cryptocurrency transactions. They may be able to provide more information or lift any restrictions that are in place. Additionally, you can reach out to the cryptocurrency exchange's customer support for assistance in resolving the issue.

To resolve this, you can try reaching out to your bank or credit card issuer to see if they can lift any restrictions or provide more information.
