Bridge and M0 are partnering to help businesses issue custom stablecoins, starting with MetaMask USD
The collaboration pairs Bridge's US-licensed stablecoin services with M0’s modular stablecoin onchain infrastructure to support a new wave of custom stablecoin products for crypto and fintech applications
August 21 2025 || Zug, Switzerland– M0, the universal platform for programmable, application-specific stablecoins, and Bridge, a leading stablecoin orchestration and issuance platform, today announced a partnership aimed at enabling builders to create custom digital dollars that have U.S.-based reserves and issuance. Designed for wallets, fintechs, and DeFi protocols, the partnership empowers developers to build the best possible user experience, while allowing them to benefit from the partners’ reserve infrastructure, compliance architecture, and onchain expertise.
Consensys announced that MetaMask USD (mUSD) will roll-out later this year, supported by Bridge and M0. The new custom coin will be integrated into MetaMask’s ecosystem and initially available on Ethereum and Linea. Built on the M0 platform and issued by Bridge, mUSD introduces a native digital dollar-based experience tailored to MetaMask’s user base. The upcoming launch showcases how application-specific stablecoins can improve usability and trust, while maintaining interoperability at scale.
The M0-Bridge partnership will provide key infrastructure that empowers integrations such as MetaMask and others. M0 connects a growing network of interoperable, application-specific stablecoins, giving each new developer access to shared liquidity, infrastructure, and composability across chains. By becoming the first U.S. stablecoin issuer on the M0 platform, Bridge brings U.S.-based reserves and compliance architecture to a network already supporting stablecoins across wallets, protocols, and consumer applications. Additionally, builders of application-specific stablecoins on the M0 platform can benefit from Bridge’s extensive suite of stablecoin technologies, including orchestration APIs and card issuance. Developers using the M0-Bridge integration gain access to both best-in-class, U.S.-based stablecoin issuance and a modular, programmable environment purpose-built for crypto-native applications.
“Our work with MetaMask on mUSD is just the beginning,” said Luca Prosperi, co-founder and CEO of M0. “This collaboration proves that stablecoin products can be both programmable and compliant. With Bridge as an issuer on the M0 platform, we’re enabling a new class of digital dollars that are customizable by default and ready for real-world scale.”
“Bridge and M0 share a vision for unlocking the full potential of stablecoins across the crypto economy,” said Zach Abrams, co-founder and CEO of Bridge. “Issuing a custom stablecoin used to take more than a year of complex integrations. With our issuance technology, we’ve reduced that timeline to a matter of weeks, which means products like Metamask can realize benefits more rapidly and efficiently than ever before.”
Bridge and M0 are now seeking to expand this model beyond MetaMask, with other leading platforms exploring their own application-specific stablecoins. The companies expect to power a new wave of stablecoin products designed for flexibility, interoperability, and regulatory alignment.
