The MetaMask cryptocurrency wallet has announced the launch of its own stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), which will serve as the native dollar asset for users of the platform. The implementation of this new digital asset is scheduled for the second half of 2025 on the Ethereum and Linea networks.

New Opportunities for MetaMask Users
According to the company, the issuance of mUSD will be managed by Bridge — a platform owned by Stripe that specializes in the issuance of stablecoins. Technical support for the project is provided by the decentralized protocol M0, which focuses on ensuring liquidity and interoperability of digital dollars.
MetaMask owners will have two main use cases for the new stablecoin:
- In the wallet from the moment of release: the ability to top up, exchange, transfer, and conduct transactions across different networks.
- In everyday life: users are expected to be able to spend mUSD via the MetaMask Card, which will expand the asset’s use beyond the digital ecosystem.
mUSD — A Step Towards the Mass Adoption of Web3
Initially, the functionality of mUSD will be available for the Ethereum and Linea networks, allowing users to quickly integrate the asset into their financial operations.
“MetaMask USD is a critical step towards the mass adoption of Web3. It removes barriers, reduces costs, and allows users to deposit funds into a self-custodial wallet, spend them almost anywhere, and use them as money is meant to be used.”
The official launch of mUSD is expected in the second half of 2025, initially for Ethereum and Linea users. It is worth noting that rumors about MetaMask’s plans to create its own stablecoin have now received official confirmation.
