MetaMask announces the launch of its own stablecoin

Cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask has announced the launch of its own stablecoin MetaMask USD (mUSD), which will become a native dollar asset for users. It will be integrated directly into the wallet’s functionality, and the first release is expected in the second half of 2025 on the Ethereum and Linea networks.
