MetaMask announced the official rollout of its blockchain debit card across the United States after a year-long pilot program, with its first entry into the New York market. Developed in partnership with Mastercard and Baanx, the card can be used at all Mastercard-accepting merchants and supports Apple Pay and Google Pay. The MetaMask Card connects users' self-custodied digital assets to a regulated payment infrastructure, enabling compliant real-world spending while allowing users to retain control of their funds. Powered by Baanx and Mastercard's global payments network and issued by Cross River Bank, the card can be used at any online or offline merchant worldwide that accepts Mastercard. (CoinDesk)
