Mastercard and MetaMask Launch a Self-Custody Crypto Card
MetaMask has partnered with Mastercard to introduce an innovative metal payment card, bridging digital assets and everyday spending—a significant step for cryptocurrency adoption.
Announced on April 28 and set for global release in Q2 2025, the MetaMask Metal Payment Card revolutionizes how cryptocurrency holders use their assets.
Unlike traditional crypto cards that require pre-loading or converting crypto to fiat, this card allows users to pay directly from their self-custody MetaMask wallets.
“The future of non-custodial neobanking is here,” said Simon Jones, Chief Commercial Officer at Baanx, a partner alongside CompoSecure. “Thanks to our collaboration with Mastercard and MetaMask, spending crypto will be as simple as tap-to-pay. Instantaneous, seamless transactions—no conversions, no delays, no intermediaries.”
The card operates on the Linea network, enhancing Ethereum-based transactions with quick and cost-effective processing. Smart contracts verify and authorize blockchain transactions in under five seconds, ensuring rapid payment processing.
