The announcement of the launch of mUSD, Metamask's native stablecoin, marks a strategic step for the crypto ecosystem. In fact, by partnering with Bridge, a subsidiary of Stripe, and the decentralized infrastructure M0, Metamask is not just adding functionality: it is redrawing the contours of decentralized finance as we know it.
In summary
Metamask launches its stablecoin mUSD, in partnership with Bridge from Stripe and the decentralized infrastructure M0.
mUSD is natively integrated into the wallet for DeFi and will be usable in the real world through Mastercard.
Driven by a favorable regulatory framework, Metamask hopes to establish mUSD against giants Tether and Circle.
mUSD: the dollarized backbone of the Metamask ecosystem
Metamask, long recognized as the most widely used self-custody wallet in the world, takes an unprecedented step by integrating its own stablecoin.
Named mUSD, it is not conceived as a simple token pegged to the dollar, but as the cornerstone of transactions across Ethereum and the layer 2 solution developed by Consensys.
Its goal is clear: to offer a stable unit of account to navigate the jungle of dApps and DeFi protocols.
