MetaMask has introduced a new debit card that allows users to spend crypto directly from their wallet. Developed in collaboration with Mastercard and Baanx, the card promises to make cryptocurrency use more accessible and convenient.
A New Way to Use Crypto in Daily Life
The MetaMask Card links to your crypto wallet, allowing you to spend cryptocurrency without converting to fiat. Supported in over 210 countries and territories, the card is already available in numerous regions. It ensures seamless transactions, enabling users to handle everyday purchases without delays or intermediaries.
How It Works
To start using the card, users need to pass KYC verification. Once completed, users can link a virtual card to their MetaMask wallet. The card supports various cryptocurrencies via the Linea network and allows setting spending limits for enhanced control. Transactions are possible worldwide wherever Mastercard is accepted, and users earn cashback on purchases.
Keeping Your Funds Safe
MetaMask emphasizes security when using the card. Users are advised to link the card to a separate wallet and use hardware wallets to minimize risks. Enabling two-factor authentication and being wary of phishing attacks are recommended for protection. Managing spending limits further safeguards funds even when using the card.
The MetaMask Card opens up new opportunities for integrating cryptocurrency into everyday life. By combining the convenience of traditional banking systems with the security of self-custodial wallets, it becomes appealing for users looking to make various payments with crypto without delays and intermediaries.
