MetaMask is planning to launch its own native token, $MASK. ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin confirmed this in a September 18, 2025, interview on The Block's "The Crypto Beat" podcast, saying, "The Mask token is coming... It may come sooner than you would expect right now." The token aims to decentralize MetaMask's platform, enabling governance, user rewards, and ecosystem participation for its 30M+ monthly active users.
No exact launch date is set, but speculation points to Q4 2025, with betting markets estimating a 46% chance by year-end and 48% for an announcement by October 8. MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay noted official updates would appear directly in the wallet to avoid scams. Rumors of an airdrop for active users (e.g., swappers or Linea participants) are circulating, but unconfirmed—watch out for fake claims.
(Note: This is separate from MetaMask's stablecoin, $mUSD, launched on September 15, 2025, for on-ramps and DeFi integration.)
