Foresight News reports that MetaMask has partnered with Mastercard to launch the MetaMask Card in the United States, making its debut in New York. The MetaMask Card is developed jointly by payment giant Mastercard and cryptocurrency payment provider Baanx. MetaMask states that the card is now available for use anywhere Mastercard is accepted, including digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Starting August 2024, MetaMask will conduct a limited rollout of its blockchain-based debit card to thousands of users in the EU and the UK, allowing users to spend USDC, USDT, and wETH stored on Linea (an Ethereum-based layer 2 network developed by MetaMask’s parent company, ConsenSys). The pilot project in the U.S. is set to launch in December 2024.
