28.02.2025 15:00 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
MetaMask is gearing up for a major upgrade in 2025, introducing new features aimed at expanding its reach and improving user experience.
The popular crypto wallet is set to integrate support for Bitcoin and Solana while working towards eliminating gas fees entirely.
With these changes, users will be able to process transactions faster and more efficiently with a single click. The company’s long-term vision includes removing gas fees altogether, making transactions smoother and more cost-effective.
Full Bitcoin integration is expected in the third quarter of the year, while Solana support is scheduled for May, allowing users to manage multiple assets within the same wallet.
MetaMask users will also gain access to the entire Solana ecosystem, enabling seamless trading, staking, and interaction with decentralized applications. Meanwhile, existing Solana users will benefit from MetaMask’s robust security and multi-chain compatibility.
In addition to these blockchain expansions, MetaMask is rolling out a branded debit card in select U.S. states by mid-March. Previously available only in the UK and EU, the card comes with the company’s new logo and aims to provide a convenient bridge between crypto and everyday spending.
