MetaMask has revealed the introduction of its proprietary stablecoin, MetaMask USD (MUSD), intended for use in decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, and for transactions via the MetaMask Card.
The developers of the non-custodial wallet MetaMask disclosed the launch of their own dollar-pegged stablecoin. The management of issuance and reserves for MetaMask USD will be overseen by Bridge, a platform owned by the payment leader Stripe, while the M0 protocol will supply decentralized infrastructure and on-chain liquidity.
MetaMask USD will be entirely backed 1:1 by high-quality, liquid U.S. dollar assets, with real-time access to on-chain reporting.
The initial rollout of MUSD will occur on the Ethereum and Linea networks, where it is anticipated to become a fundamental asset within the DeFi ecosystem. Plans include integration with major protocols such as lending markets, DEXs, and custodial platforms to ensure substantial liquidity and an increase in total value locked (TVL).
MetaMask will release technical specifications and user guidelines in the upcoming weeks, with the comprehensive launch of MUSD expected prior to the year’s end.

From the outset, the stablecoin will be accessible directly within the wallet for on-ramp transactions, swaps, transfers, and cross-chain activities. By the conclusion of 2025, MUSD is also projected to be usable with the MetaMask Card, facilitating payments at millions of merchant locations linked to Mastercard’s network.
Gal Eldar, Product Lead at MetaMask, remarked that the introduction of MUSD will eliminate significant obstacles for new users entering the Web3 environment, significantly streamlining the process of directly funding a non-custodial wallet and utilizing those funds across various applications.
“Creating a custom stablecoin previously required over a year of intricate integrations. With our issuance technology, we’ve shortened that timeframe to just weeks,” stated Zach Abrams, CEO of Bridge. Meanwhile, M0 CEO Luca Prosperi highlighted that the protocol allows developers to tailor stablecoin technology, enhancing it for interoperability and liquidity.
Max Krupyshev, CEO of CoinsPaid, pointed out in a 2025 report for the American Chamber of Commerce Estonia that dollar stablecoins are fostering deeper integration of cryptocurrency into business operations as they fulfill genuine user requirements while offering stability, universality, and ease of integration.
In late April 2025, MetaMask, in collaboration with FinTech firm Baanx and premium card manufacturer CompoSecure, announced the launch of the physical MetaMask Metal crypto card.
