Odaily Planet Daily News: Self-hosted crypto wallet MetaMask has launched a blockchain-based debit card in collaboration with payment giant Mastercard (MA) and crypto payment expert Baanx. The MetaMask card will initially be offered in a limited pilot of 'a few thousand digital cards' to users in EU countries and the UK, with plans to expand distribution later this year, rolling out across the EU and UK, and introducing more pilots in other regions over the next few quarters. The card functions similarly to a typical debit card but allows direct use of digital assets from the Metamask self-hosted wallet for purchases. This means users can custody their funds before making payments. (Coindesk)
