: According to official sources, Aave, MetaMask, and Mastercard are advancing the MetaMask debit card feature, allowing users to directly use yield-bearing assets on Aave, such as mUSD, USDC, wETH, USDT, and other tokens, for everyday spending.This debit card is powered by instant settlement support through Consensys' Ethereum Layer 2 network, Linea. After users deposit mUSD into Aave to receive receipt tokens, the card automatically converts the required amount of yield-bearing assets into fiat currency the moment a transaction is made. During this process, users' unspent balances continue to earn interest through Aave until the exact moment of the transaction, enabling instant spending of yield-bearing assets while maintaining continuous yield. The debit card is currently being rolled out in Europe.

According to South Korean media reports, Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, has recently filed seven trademark applications in South Korea, including the “Tether” logo and Tether Gold (XAUT), a gold-backed stablecoin. This marks Tether’s first application in South Korea for its corporate name and logo trademarks; previously, it had only applied for trademarks covering stablecoin product names. Industry insiders believe this move may signal Tether’s preparation to enter the South Korean market. South Korea’s proposed Digital Asset Basic Act (Phase II Virtual Asset Act) is currently under discussion and includes a provision requiring overseas stablecoin issuers to establish local subsidiaries in South Korea before conducting circulation-related business. Tether’s trademark filings may thus represent a strategic pre-emptive move ahead of its competitor Circle. Jeremy Allaire, Circle’s founder and CEO, visited South Korea in April to discuss potential collaboration opportunities with local financial holding companies and virtual asset exchanges. He described South Korea as “the world’s most dynamic virtual asset market—and a leading candidate for the most mature stablecoin market in the future.”
