Mastercard will stop issuing cards with a magnetic strip in 2029. The technology is being phased out in favor of EMV chips that support contactless and biometric payments, which are both more convenient and more secure than the legacy alternative. The first cards without a strip will arrive in Europe in 2024 before migrating to the US in 2027:

OPPO has patented a new vein-based authentication system for wearable devices. The system is designed as an alternative to more conventional modalities like face and fingerprint recognition, and would match a user’s vein pattern before unlocking their device. However, it’s not yet clear if OPPO plans to use the system in a real commercial product:
