MetaMask is expanding beyond Ethereum with the addition of Bitcoin and Solana support, a significant shift for the wallet provider. Revealed at ETHDenver, the new features will enable users to hold multiple blockchain assets conveniently in one platform.
Bitcoin support will launch in Q3 2025, allowing users to store, send, and swap BTC without relying on a third-party wallet. Integration with Solana arrives earlier in May, and MetaMask becomes the first non-EVM chain to be integrated. This will enable access to Solana’s decentralized applications and token swaps with a uniform user experience between chains.
MetaMask Expands Network Support with Bitcoin Integration
Along with all these blockchain cross-chain solutions, MetaMask is introducing programmable accounts with Ethereum’s Pectra update. Built-in multi-sig, two-factor authorization, and artificial intelligence-assisted delegated access features will all allow users increased protection and automation. ERC-5792 will introduce batched transactions, allowing users to bundle multiple actions into a single transaction. This approach reduces gas fees and ensures more efficient execution.
In March, MetaMask will launch a feature enabling gas payments to be made with any token, without requiring ETH balances. This is to eliminate typical transaction hiccups while enhancing security against front-running bots and MEV sandwich attacks. Reports say recent MetaMask swap upgrades have already minimized such risks considerably.
The MetaMask Metal Card is also being enhanced, with better rewards and new features for users. In addition, a multichain API launching in June will allow decentralized applications to interact with multiple networks, which will improve interoperability. Users with assets across multiple chains will have a better portfolio experience.
Other new features are the handling of multiple Secret Recovery Phrases and a new home screen that puts all assets from all chains in one location. In the future, MetaMask plans to move from externally owned accounts to smart contract-based accounts, enhancing security and removing gas fees for users. Smarter transaction options will ensure transactions receive successful completion while providing protection against common blockchain vulnerabilities.
In the future, DeepSeek AI has embarked on presenting three possible Bitcoin price scenarios for 2025. Bitcoin will trade between $100,000 and $150,000 in the base case. A hyperbitcoinization scenario could have prices go to $350,000, with a black swan event drive Bitcoin to $500,000. Heightened institutional acceptance and the integration of blockchain technology into global finance constitute these developments. Optimism apart, DeepSeek AI warns that market volatility still remains the overarching driver of future price actions.
