MetaMask Expands Wallet Functionality with Bitcoin Support
- MetaMask now supports Bitcoin (BTC), allowing users to buy, swap, send, and receive BTC.
- This feature was announced ten months after the initial tease in February.
- Users can earn MetaMask reward points for swaps into BTC.
- Prior to this, exposure to BTC was limited to wrapped versions of the asset.
- MetaMask has been expanding its multichain support since integrating Ethereum, Solana, Monad, and Sei blockchains.
The integration of Bitcoin marks a significant milestone in MetaMask’s transition from an Ethereum-centric wallet to a multichain platform. The company plans further blockchain integrations in the coming year.
With the addition of Bitcoin support, users can now manage their BTC alongside assets from multiple blockchains like Solana and Monad within MetaMask.(Source)
