MetaMask to launch crypto card

MetaMask, in partnership with Mastercard and fintech firm Baanx, is launching the MetaMask Card, a self-custody crypto debit card. This blockchain-powered card allows users to spend cryptocurrencies like USDC, USDT, and WETH directly from their MetaMask wallets wherever Mastercard is accepted. It features real-time crypto-to-fiat conversion and operates on Linea, an Ethereum layer-2 network. Initially, a digital-only pilot is available in the EU and UK, with broader rollout plans. This innovation bridges decentralized finance with everyday commerce, enhancing financial autonomy and inclusion (Source: ConsenSys).
