MetaMask, the most popular self-custodial crypto wallet for Ethereum, is making a major leap. The company has&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://x.com/MetaMask/status/1895292999615369660">announced</a> plans to support&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-is-bitcoin-how-it-works-mining-digital-gold-guide">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> and&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-is-ethereum-eth-how-it-works-explained">Solana (SOL)</a> in its wallet. This marks a significant expansion beyond&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-is-ethereum-eth-how-it-works-explained">Ethereum</a>-based assets and could reshape how users manage their crypto portfolios.
At an industry event in Denver,&nbsp;MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay confirmed the upcoming integration. He also introduced a redesigned mobile app, a&nbsp;MetaMask-linked Mastercard, and a feature that allows transactions without needing ETH for gas fees and more.
Let’s break down these new developments and what they mean for the crypto industry.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-bitcoin-and-solana-support-strong-span-span">Bitcoin and Solana Support</h2>
For years, MetaMask has been an Ethereum-centric wallet, supporting&nbsp;Ethereum (ETH), ERC-20 tokens, and Layer 2 networks. But this expansion into Bitcoin and Solana changes the game.
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-what-this-means-for-users-strong-span-span">What This Means for Users:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Unified Wallet: Users can hold BTC, SOL, and ETH in one place instead of using multiple wallets.</li>
 <li>Seamless Transactions: No need to wrap tokens or use third-party bridges.</li>
 <li>Access to New Ecosystems: Users can now interact with&nbsp;Solana-based dApps directly from MetaMask.</li>
</ul>
MetaMask’s&nbsp;Bitcoin integration is set for Q3 2025, while&nbsp;Solana support will roll out in May. This marks the&nbsp;first time MetaMask is integrating a non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-metamask-metal-card-strong-span-span">MetaMask Metal Card</h2>
Another major announcement is the&nbsp;MetaMask-linked Mastercard, launching in mid-March. Initially available in the UK and EU, the card will now roll out to&nbsp;select U.S. states.
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-key-features-of-the-metamask-metal-card-strong-span-span">Key Features of the MetaMask Metal Card:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Spend crypto anywhere Mastercard is accepted</li>
 <li>Earn staking rewards and still have funds available for payments</li>
 <li>Secure, seamless transactions linked to MetaMask wallet</li>
</ul>
This move brings&nbsp;real-world utility to crypto holdings, making it easier for users to&nbsp;spend digital assets like cash.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-smart-transactions-lower-fees-faster-approvals-strong-span-span">Smart Transactions: Lower Fees, Faster Approvals</h2>
MetaMask is also improving transaction efficiency with&nbsp;batched transactions (ERC-5792).
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-how-this-works-strong-span-span">How This Works:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Instead of signing multiple transactions, users can approve and execute swaps in&nbsp;one click</li>
 <li>Reduces&nbsp;gas fees by bundling actions together</li>
 <li>Improves&nbsp;user experience, making crypto more accessible</li>
</ul>
Dan Finlay highlighted that this upgrade will&nbsp;simplify multi-step transactions, saving users time and money.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-programmable-accounts-enhanced-security-customization-strong-span-span">Programmable Accounts: Enhanced Security &amp; Customization</h2>
Security is a&nbsp;top priority for MetaMask. The company is introducing&nbsp;programmable accounts through Ethereum’s upcoming&nbsp;Pectra upgrade.
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-new-security-features-strong-span-span">New Security Features:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Multisig wallets for added protection</li>
 <li>Two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent unauthorized access</li>
 <li>AI-driven delegated access, allowing smart automation</li>
</ul>
This shift moves MetaMask&nbsp;beyond standard Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) and into&nbsp;Contract Accounts (CAs), which offer built-in recovery and security checks.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-gas-free-transactions-pay-fees-with-any-token-strong-span-span">Gas-Free Transactions: Pay Fees with Any Token</h2>
One of the biggest pain points for Ethereum users is&nbsp;gas fees. MetaMask is solving this with a feature that allows users to&nbsp;pay transaction fees in any token—not just ETH.
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-why-this-matters-strong-span-span">Why This Matters:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>No need to hold ETH just for gas fees</li>
 <li>More flexibility when sending transactions</li>
 <li>Fewer failed transactions due to low ETH balances</li>
</ul>
This update makes crypto transactions&nbsp;more user-friendly and cost-efficient.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-reducing-mev-exploits-protecting-users-from-bots-strong-span-span">Reducing MEV Exploits: Protecting Users from Bots</h2>
Ethereum users have lost&nbsp;millions of dollars due to&nbsp;MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks, including&nbsp;front-running bots and&nbsp;sandwich attacks.
MetaMask’s latest security updates aim to&nbsp;reduce these risks, with early reports showing users are&nbsp;400 times less likely to be impacted when using MetaMask swaps.
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-how-this-works-strong-span-span">How This Works:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Better transaction routing to avoid MEV attacks</li>
 <li>Advanced order matching to prevent front-running</li>
 <li>Built-in protections when swapping assets</li>
</ul>
This security boost ensures that&nbsp;users keep more of their funds when making transactions.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-multichain-api-powering-cross-chain-compatibility-strong-span-span">Multichain API: Powering Cross-Chain Compatibility</h2>
With crypto expanding&nbsp;beyond Ethereum, MetaMask is launching a&nbsp;Multichain API in June.
<h3 dir="ltr" id="span-span-strong-benefits-of-the-multichain-api-strong-span-span">Benefits of the Multichain API:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Supports multiple blockchains (EVM &amp; non-EVM)</li>
 <li>Simplifies cross-chain transactions</li>
 <li>Removes barriers for developers building multi-chain apps</li>
</ul>
This feature will&nbsp;enhance interoperability, making it easier to manage assets across&nbsp;different blockchain networks.
With these upgrades,&nbsp;MetaMask is looking to evolve into a more powerful and flexible crypto wallet. By integrating Bitcoin and Solana, introducing&nbsp;gas-free transactions, and enhancing security, the platform is making digital asset management&nbsp;easier, safer, and more convenient.
