MetaMask confirmed its plans to launch its own stablecoin, MetaMask USD (mUSD), later this year on Ethereum and Consensys’s Linea network.

**What’s the Scoop?**

- **Issuer and Design:** mUSD will be issued by the Stripe-owned Bridge platform, and minted via M0’s decentralized stablecoin infrastructure. It will be fully backed 1:1 by U.S. cash and Treasuries.
- **Wallet-Native Advantage:** mUSD is the first stablecoin launched by a self-custodial wallet. Integrations will cover on-ramping, swapping, bridging, and spending through the MetaMask Card.
- **Launch Plans:** The token is set to debut on Ethereum and Linea later this year, and MetaMask hopes its stablecoin will reduce onboarding frictions and costs for crypto users.
- **Industry Context:** The announcement follows the U.S. GENIUS Act’s passage (the first federal framework for stablecoins), and comes amid nearly $1T in monthly stablecoin volume.

### **Bankless Take:**
MetaMask enjoys widespread utilization throughout the Ethereum community. Although it unknown how transformative of a role mUSD will play, MetaMask sounds optimistic that it has brought a compelling stablecoin to market.
