The Bulk
MetaMask, the leading Web3 wallet, has teamed up with financial giant Mastercard and Baanx to introduce the MetaMask Card pilot. This groundbreaking card allows users to spend their crypto directly from their MetaMask wallet, making crypto transactions as simple as traditional card payments. The MetaMask Card operates similarly to a debit card, where users maintain control over their funds until the point of payment. Unlike most crypto cards, which require transferring funds to a third party, this card offers a direct, seamless experience.
The pilot phase is initially limited to users in the EU and UK, with supported currencies including USDC, USDT, and WETH on the Linea network. The MetaMask Card is also integrated with Apple Pay and Google Pay, allowing for instant, contactless payments.
