MetaMask announced plans to incorporate support for Bitcoin and Solana within the year as part of its ongoing product developments. The integration aims to enhance the user experience by allowing wallet users to engage with these two popular crypto ecosystems without needing alternative wallets or wrapped tokens.
The launch for Solana is expected in May, marking MetaMask's first foray into supporting a non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain. Full Bitcoin support is anticipated to commence in the third quarter of 2025.
With these additions, users will be able to buy, sell, swap, and interact with decentralized applications (DApps) across the entire Solana ecosystem. Existing Solana users will also benefit from MetaMask's security and feature-rich environment.
In addition to the new crypto support, MetaMask is planning a significant revamp of its user interface (UI) and user experience (UX). One notable feature is the introduction of gas-included swaps, which will allow users to conduct token swaps without needing to hold Ethereum (ETH) for gas fees. This feature is set to roll out in March 2025.
Furthermore, the wallet will soon enable users to manage multiple wallets through multiple Secret Recovery Phrases (SRPs), with this feature expected to go live next month.
MetaMask is also introducing a physical card that allows users to make real-world purchases with crypto, utilizing Mastercard's payment network. The virtual version is already available in select regions, and the physical card will launch in April.
