MetaMask to Launch a Mastercard Crypto Card

MetaMask is partnering with Mastercard and crypto payments company Baanx to introduce a metal payment card that allows users to spend crypto directly from their wallets while maintaining control.

In an April 28 press release, payment card manufacturer CompoSecure announced the launch of the MetaMask metal payment card in collaboration with MetaMask, Mastercard, and Baanx, with a global rollout slated for Q2 2025.

This card enables users to pay directly from their self-custody MetaMask wallets at millions of merchants worldwide, eliminating the need to preload or convert assets. Smart contracts validate and process transactions on-chain instantly at checkout, giving users full control until payment.

Powered by Mastercard’s global network and Consensys’ Linea blockchain, the MetaMask card aims to make crypto payments as quick and easy as tap-to-pay, completing transactions in under five seconds without the need for centralized exchanges.
