MetaMask Shakes Up Finance: mUSD Stablecoin Launch with Mastercard Integration Set to Disrupt Payments

MetaMask just dropped a bombshell—mUSD stablecoin launches with Mastercard backing, bridging crypto and traditional finance like never before.

The Mastercard Mafia

This isn't just another stablecoin—Mastercard's infrastructure means mUSD gets instant settlement rails and merchant acceptance from day one. Think crypto payments without the conversion headaches.

Web3's Trojan Horse

MetaMask leverages its 30 million+ user base to push mUSD into mainstream wallets. Suddenly that 'play money' becomes spendable at millions of locations worldwide—bypassing banks entirely.

Because nothing says 'financial revolution' like partnering with a legacy payment processor that still charges 3% swipe fees. The irony? Delicious.

MetaMask announced it will launch its native stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), later this year on ethereum and Linea networks. The stablecoin will be issued by Bridge, a platform owned by Stripe. MetaMask also plans to make mUSD spendable through the MetaMask Card at merchants that accept Mastercard by the end of the year. This move aims to enhance user experience by enabling easy, stable, and widely accepted crypto payments.
