MetaMask is set to add support for Bitcoin and Solana this year as part of its short-term product roadmap, aiming to enhance user experience and expand its multi-chain functionality.
With this update, users will be able to interact with these two major blockchain ecosystems without relying on external wallets or wrapped assets.
According to MetaMask, full Bitcoin support is scheduled for Q3, while Solana integration is expected to go live in May—marking the first non-EVM blockchain to be integrated into the wallet.
“All MetaMask users will be able to buy, sell, swap, and interact with dapps across the entire Solana ecosystem,” the company stated in its press release. “Existing Solana users will get access to the same security, reliability, and rich features of MetaMask, along with access to all the chains you use with MetaMask today.”
Solana has experienced significant growth over the past year, largely fueled by the surge in Solana-based memecoins. In January alone, Solana recorded over 12 billion transactions, as reported by The Block’s analytics dashboard.
Alongside these integrations, MetaMask is also planning a major UI/UX revamp. One of the key changes includes a gas fee abstraction mechanism, allowing users to swap tokens without holding ETH for gas fees. MetaMask confirmed that this feature will be available for all transactions starting in March.
Additionally, users will soon be able to manage multiple Secret Recovery Phrases (SRPs) within a single MetaMask app—providing better organization for those handling multiple wallets. This feature is set to launch next month.
MetaMask also announced the release of a physical MetaMask card, enabling real-world crypto payments through Mastercard’s network. A virtual card is already available in select regions, while the physical version is expected to roll out in April.
Meanwhile, Consensys founder Joseph Lubin revealed that the company has reached an agreement in principle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to end the agency’s enforcement case against MetaMask.
The SEC had previously accused Consensys, MetaMask’s parent company, of violating securities laws through its staking service. This resolution follows the SEC’s recent decision to dismiss its long-standing case against Coinbase, and a joint motion between Binance and the SEC to pause legal proceedings for 60 days.
