MetaMask to Support Bitcoin & Solana in Major Wallet Expansion

MetaMask, the world’s most widely used Ethereum wallet, is set to integrate Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) this year, marking a major expansion beyond the Ethereum ecosystem.

This upgrade will allow users to buy, sell, swap, and interact with dApps across Bitcoin and Solana without needing separate wallets or wrapped tokens.

🚀 MetaMask’s Bitcoin & Solana Integration Timeline

🔹 Solana support is expected to launch in May, making it the first non-EVM blockchain integrated into MetaMask.
🔹 Full Bitcoin support is scheduled for Q3 2025, bringing native BTC transactions to the wallet.

“All MetaMask users will be able to buy, sell, swap, and interact with dApps across the entire Solana ecosystem,” MetaMask said in its press release.

Solana’s meteoric rise, fueled by memecoin trading and high transaction volumes, has made it a must-have ecosystem for multi-chain wallets. In January alone, Solana recorded over 12 billion transactions, per The Block’s data dashboard.

🔄 MetaMask Overhaul: Gasless Transactions & Multi-Wallet Management

The Bitcoin and Solana integrations come alongside a major UI/UX overhaul, designed to make transactions smoother for users.

🔹 Gas Fees Abstracted: A new gas-included swap feature will let users swap tokens without needing ETH for transaction fees. This feature rolls out in March.
🔹 Multi-Wallet Management: Users will be able to store multiple Secret Recovery Phrases (SRPs) within a single MetaMask app, launching next month.

💳 MetaMask Physical Card Arrives in April

MetaMask is also launching a physical crypto payment card, powered by Mastercard, allowing users to spend crypto in real-world transactions.

🔹 A virtual MetaMask card is already available in select regions.
🔹 Physical cards will launch in April.

⚖️ MetaMask & Consensys Secure Victory Against SEC

In a major regulatory win, Consensys founder Joseph Lubin announced that the company had reached an agreement with the SEC to end its enforcement case against MetaMask.

The SEC had accused Consensys, the developer of MetaMask, of violating securities laws through its MetaMask staking service.

This follows a broader shift in U.S. crypto regulation, as the SEC also dismissed its case against Coinbase and agreed to pause its legal dispute with Binance for 60 days.

💭 The Bottom Line: MetaMask Goes Multi-Chain & Prepares for Mass Adoption

MetaMask’s expansion into Bitcoin and Solana signals a wider shift toward multi-chain interoperability, making the wallet more versatile than ever.

With gasless transactions, improved security, and real-world payment integration, MetaMask is positioning itself as the go-to crypto wallet for the next wave of mainstream adoption.

Will this move push MetaMask ahead of competitors like Phantom and Ledger? The crypto world is watching.
