MetaMask Makes Stellar a Default Network for 30 Million Users

CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie and 21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder sit down with Alex Greinacher, Director of Business Development and Partnerships of MetaMask, at Stellar's Meridian conference. Greinacher announces that as of today Stellar is a default network in MetaMask, giving all 30 million users an automatic Stellar address. He connects the integration to MetaMask's recently launched money account, where users hold cash as the mUSD stablecoin, earn yield and spend with a MetaMask card, and argues the firm is pushing Web3 quirks like seed phrases and gas fees into the background. - Chapters/Timecodes: 00:00 MetaMask's Alex Greinacher at Meridian 00:09 Why Stellar, and the MetaMask Strategy 00:52 Stellar Default for 30 Million Users 01:51 User Behavior on a New Chain 02:10 The Money Account and mUSD 02:45 Keeping It Simple for Newcomers 03:45 Institutions and Self-Custody 04:12 A Coming Convergence - #digitalfinance #finance #bitcoin Subscribe to CoinDesk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CoinDesk?sub_confirmation=1 CoinDesk is the leading digital media, events and information services company for the crypto asset and blockchain technology community.
