One of the most downloaded crypto wallets is announcing support for the flagship crypto.
MetaMask says it has added native support for Bitcoin (BTC), allowing users to trade, send and manage the asset alongside Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) and Sei (SEI) within a single wallet, expanding its multichain offerings.
Users who update to the latest version of MetaMask will automatically receive a BTC address through the wallet’s multichain accounts. The wallet supports Bitcoin’s native SegWit derivation path, with Taproot support planned for a future update.
The company said users can buy Bitcoin using local currency and regionally available payment methods, swap into BTC from EVM-based networks or Solana, and send or receive BTC to and from exchanges or other wallets, noting that Bitcoin transactions typically take longer to confirm.
Earlier this month, MetaMask announced it had launched in-wallet prediction markets powered by Polymarket, allowing users to trade on real-world event outcomes.
The company said prediction markets let users buy and sell money-backed positions on future outcomes across areas such as sports, politics and crypto, creating price signals that reflect collective expectations.
In September, the firm announced MetaMask USD (mUSD), a wallet-native stablecoin.
The company said mUSD is supported on Ethereum Mainnet and Linea and is pegged 1:1 to short-term U.S. Treasury bills.
