MetaMask Set to Introduce Native Bitcoin Support: Enhancing Multi Chain Experience for Millions of Users

MetaMask, a popular wallet application primarily known for its support of Ethereum and Ethereum-based tokens, is reportedly exploring the addition of native Bitcoin support. While MetaMask has not confirmed a specific timeline for this development, sources suggest that the integration could be rolled out in batches starting as early as June. This move would allow MetaMask's over 30 million monthly active users to manage their Bitcoin directly within the application, streamlining the experience without the need for workarounds like wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC). MetaMask's recent focus on providing a multichain experience, including the introduction of Snaps feature enabling integration with non-native blockchains and tokens, signals its commitment to expanding its services across the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
