MetaMask Expands Beyond Ethereum
Leading crypto wallet MetaMask has announced plans to integrate Solana and Bitcoin support this year, expanding beyond its traditional focus on Ethereum-based assets.
MetaMask will introduce full Bitcoin functionality in Q3 2025, while Solana support will go live in May, marking the first non-EVM blockchain integration into the wallet.
Seamless Solana and Bitcoin Integration
Once live, users will be able to buy, sell, swap, and interact with Solana dApps directly within MetaMask. The upgrade eliminates the need for third-party wallets or wrapped assets.
For Bitcoin, MetaMask’s implementation will support both native transactions and Lightning Network payments, enhancing speed and reducing fees.
Upcoming UI/UX Overhaul
In addition to asset support, MetaMask is launching a major app redesign, featuring:
- Gas-included swaps (removing the need for ETH as gas fees)
- Multiple Secret Recovery Phrases (SRPs) to manage multiple wallets in a single app
- A physical MetaMask Card, allowing crypto payments through Mastercard’s network (set for April release)
Regulatory Wins for MetaMask
Meanwhile, MetaMask’s parent company, Consensys, has reportedly settled its legal dispute with the SEC, which had accused the firm of violating securities laws through MetaMask’s staking service.
The news follows the SEC’s recent withdrawal of enforcement cases against Coinbase and Binance, signaling a shift in regulatory approach under the Trump administration.
