MetaMask adds native support for Bitcoin, further advancing its multi-chain strategy
ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Ethereum wallet MetaMask is continuing its multi-chain expansion and now natively supports Bitcoin. MetaMask users can now directly purchase Bitcoin with fiat currency, conduct on-chain Bitcoin network transfers, and swap native EVM assets and SOL with Bitcoin.
The latest version of MetaMask will first support native Segregated Witness (SegWit) addresses and plans to add support for Taproot addresses "soon." ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin stated in an interview in October that the company is actively advancing the issuance of the MASK token, but the specific launch date has not yet been determined. According to the announcement released on Monday, users who swap Bitcoin on MetaMask will be able to earn MetaMask reward points.
