MetaMask breaks ground with wallet-native stablecoin mUSD

Metamask extends his role in cryptographic finance with Musd, a stablecoin with Pie with a dollar delivered by Bridge. Deployment comes as American regulations are sharpening and the adoption of Stablecoin reaches new heights.

On August 21, Metamask, the cryptocurrency portfolio built by Consensys, announcement The launch of Metamask USD (MUSD), a native stablecoin has developed in partnership with Bridge, a Stripe company and the M0 infrastructure company.

This movement marks the first time that an important non -guardian portfolio vertically integrated its own active active in dollars, designed to be deeply rooted through its ecosystem of integration into expenditure.

According to the press release, Musd will initially be launched on the Linea Network of Ethereum and Anscesys, where it should serve as a fundamental asset for its growing challenge ecosystem and finally fuel real world expenses via the Metamask card by the end of the year.

A strategic pivot in the midst of a regulatory sea change

By having an American stablecoin in its portfolio, Metamask can rationalize the processes that have long been fragmented, such as Fiat ramps and cross exchanges, while ensuring that liquidity and economic activity remain in its own ecosystem, in particular on its Linea network.

“Metamask USD is an essential step to bring the world to the world. By natively integrating the supply of Metamask products, it will allow us to reduce some of the most obstinate obstacles of web3 and reduce both the friction and the costs for people integrated directly into a auto-wireless portfolio,” said Gal Eldar, the lead of products in Metamask.

Timing is not a coincidence. The launch of Musd capitalizes on the new regulatory clarity provided by the adoption of the American engineering law. The legislation establishes the first federal framework for payment stalls, creating a clear path for the issue and compliant operations by aligning state and federal regulations previously disparate. This regulatory green light has sparked a wave of institutional confidence, by deactivating the Stablescoin market for the main players like Metamask and its partners.

An opportunity for billion dollars

The market dynamics draw in the same direction, with the confidence of Metamask resolved by traditional finance giants. In a recent report,, Goldman Sachs analysts said that the current $ 271 billion market in Stablecoin was ready for explosive growth, identifying a total addressed market in dollars, mainly motivated by world payments.

They note that regulatory legitimacy, precisely what the act of engineering provides, is the key catalyst that will unlock this value, moving stablecoins beyond the trade in cryptography in traditional consumer and commercial payments. The integration of Metamask with the Metamask card, allowing Musd to be spent with millions of Mastercard merchants, is a direct game for this opportunity.
