MetaMask has added native support for Bitcoin, ten months after first signaling the integration. Users can now buy, swap, send, and receive BTC directly within the wallet, with confirmed transactions appearing alongside other assets. The update removes the need for wrapped Bitcoin exposure inside MetaMask.
The wallet, long associated with Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks, has expanded steadily over the past year. Bitcoin now joins support for Ethereum, Solana, Sei, and Monad, reflecting a broader push toward multichain functionality. MetaMask noted that Bitcoin transactions may settle more slowly than those on EVM or Solana networks.
The integration positions MetaMask closer to being a general-purpose crypto wallet rather than an Ethereum-specific tool. For users, it simplifies asset management across major blockchains, while for the market it underscores growing demand for unified access to Bitcoin and smart contract ecosystems within a single interface.
