MetaMask expands Mastercard crypto card across the US
MetaMask has launched its Mastercard-backed crypto card nationwide across all 50 US states, including a new premium metal tier.Summary
Consensys, the firm behind MetaMask, announced the nationwide expansion of the MetaMask Card across the entire United States, now available in all 50 states. This card connects self-custodial wallets to the traditional payment infrastructure via the Mastercard network, allowing users to spend digital assets while maintaining control until the transaction is finalized. Cross River Bank issues the card, with Monavate providing operational support. Users can utilize the card with Apple Pay and Google Pay. MetaMask also introduced a $199 annual premium Metal Card offering enhanced rewards. A key differentiator is that assets remain in the user's wallet until conversion, unlike exchange cards requiring pre-deposits. Standard users earn up to 1% back in mUSD, while metal-tier subscribers earn up to 3% on initial spending, with unspent balances potentially generating yield via DeFi protocols like Aave. This expansion follows previous launches in regions including Canada, the UK, and the EEA.
