CompoSecure, Baanx, and MetaMask have unveiled a major collaboration: the MetaMask Metal payment card. This innovation, previewed at ETHDenver, now allows users to spend their crypto directly from their MetaMask wallet, without any banking intermediaries. CompoSecure, Baanx, and MetaMask announced on April 28, 2025, the launch of the MetaMask Metal payment card. This premium metal card allows users to spend their cryptos directly from their self-custodied MetaMask wallet , without going through traditional banking intermediaries. Unlike classic crypto cards, it requires neither preloading nor prior conversion to fiat currency. Moreover, the card operates on the Linea network, secured by Ethereum , and relies on Mastercard’s global network to ensure broad merchant acceptance. Additionally, transactions are verified and authorized by smart contracts in under five seconds, offering a smooth experience comparable to that of a traditional bank card. “The future of non-custodial neobanking has arrived“, declared Simon Jones, Baanx’s commercial director. Our partnership with MetaMask and Mastercard will make cryptocurrency spending as simple as contactless payment. No conversion, no delay, no intermediaries, just seamless and instant transactions. This new card represents a significant advance for crypto adoption as a common payment method. It addresses the “last mile” problem that until now limited the practical use of digital assets in daily transactions. Ale Machado, product manager at MetaMask, highlighted the importance of this innovation: For too long, cryptocurrency users have been excluded from everyday finance. The MetaMask card changes the game. It enables millions of users to finally bridge the gap between blockchain and the real world without sacrificing control or security. The non-custodial neo-banking model of this card guarantees users full control over their digital assets until the transaction is finalized, thus avoiding risks linked to centralized exchange platforms or third-party financial institutions. Jon Wilk, CEO of CompoSecure, described this innovation as a “paradigm shift“, emphasizing that it transforms cryptos “from a mere investment into a genuine everyday currency, like cash, anywhere and at any time“. In summary, this advancement is part of MetaMask’s ongoing efforts, as it had already simplified crypto-fiat conversions across ten blockchains in February 2025. With MetaMask Metal, crypto takes a decisive step toward becoming a true everyday currency accessible to all.
