BlockBeats reported that on August 14, CoinDesk reported that MetaMask announced a partnership with payment giant Mastercard and crypto payment expert Baanx to launch a blockchain debit card. The debit card allows MetaMask users to make purchases directly from their self-hosted crypto wallets.
The card is expected to be fully launched later this year, starting with a pilot with a small number of users in the EU and the U.K. Users can spend USDC, USDT, and wETH assets held on the Linea network.
