According to CoinDesk reports, sources indicate that the wallet MetaMask (little fox) plans to launch the dollar stablecoin mUSD by the end of August 2025. The source comes from a governance proposal that "briefly appeared" on a forum and was subsequently deleted, but it revealed the collaboration lineup: asset management firm Blackstone and payment service provider Bridge under Stripe. The cross-industry lineup and technical architecture Blackstone will be responsible for the custody and fund management of the mUSD reserves, with asset allocation locked in low-risk instruments such as short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, to ensure a 1:1 dollar peg and generate interest income. Bridge will provide fiat in-and-out, settlement, and payment infrastructure, allowing mUSD to circulate seamlessly between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem. Additionally, the decentralized protocol M^0 will participate in the minting and management processes, injecting a transparent governance mechanism into the token issuance. This combination of "institutional-grade custody + tech payments" marks a deep integration of traditional finance and Web3, paving the way for MetaMask's over 30 million monthly active users to access compliant stablecoin channels. Compliance route mUSD will operate under the new U.S. stablecoin law GENIUS Act, committing to publicly disclose reserve proofs monthly and execute KYC/AML procedures. MetaMask states that mUSD will serve as the primary medium of exchange within the wallet, providing a more stable and lower-fee trading experience compared to volatile coins, while also opening up new revenue sources through reserve income. Its clear intention is to directly target the market leaders USDT and USDC, expected to bring a new round of competition to the stablecoin market.
