MetaMask is expanding its blockchain-based debit card to the entire U.S. following a year-long pilot program and securing access to New York. The card allows users to spend digital assets directly from self-custodial wallets at merchants where Mastercard is accepted. This expansion follows a pilot in Europe and the U.K. that began in 2024.
The MetaMask Card, developed with Mastercard and Baanx, aims to integrate crypto payments seamlessly into daily life. Unlike many competitor cards, it allows users to spend assets held in their own wallets. The card supports popular digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and offers onchain cashback rewards and yield options on unspent balances through DeFi protocols. A premium "MetaMask Metal Card" is also available for $199 annually. The service is now accessible in all U.S. states, including New York.
