MetaMask Launches mUSD Stablecoin for Seamless Crypto Transactions

MetaMask, a popular self-custodial crypto wallet by Consensys, has launched its own stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), in partnership with Bridge and M0. This move marks a significant shift in the platform’s role within the DeFi ecosystem, offering users a deeply integrated dollar-pegged solution within their wallets. mUSD will initially launch on Ethereum and Linea networks, paving the way for real-world spending through the MetaMask Card by year’s end.
