Joe Lubin on Turning MetaMask into a Self-Sovereign Neobank

At Consensus Hong Kong 2026, Joseph Lubin detailed MetaMask’s evolution into a "personal neobank," a user-centric platform merging DeFi and traditional finance through features like tokenized equities via Ondo Finance, prediction markets, and debit cards. Ethereum co-founder and Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin joined CoinDesk Live from Consensus Hong Kong to discuss the evolution of Metamask. Lubin explained how MetaMask is transitioning from a wallet into a "personal” neobank—a fully featured financial services platform that users own and control directly from their devices. He detailed the integration of institutional-grade features, including tokenized equities through Ondo Finance, prediction markets, and debit cards, all aimed at bridging the gap between decentralized finance and the traditional financial world. - This episode was hosted live by Jennifer Sanasie and Bonnie Chang at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, presented by Hex Trust.
