Metamask and Mastercard have partnered to launch a pilot program for a crypto debit card in the US. The card allows users to spend directly from their Metamask wallets and convert crypto to fiat currency in real-time. However, the launch has faced criticism from crypto purists who argue that it undermines the decentralization and financial freedom principles of cryptocurrency. Concerns have been raised about the card's structure, potential security issues, and high fees. Despite this, the partnering entities believe the card will boost public adoption of cryptocurrency and provide a convenient way to spend crypto.
