MetaMask Launches Native Bitcoin Integration for 30 Million Active Users
Summary
MetaMask, a popular Ethereum and DeFi wallet with 30 million monthly active users, has announced native integration with Bitcoin. This expansion, facilitated by the Bitcoin Development Kit, marks a significant step for the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, previously dominated by Ethereum's smart contract capabilities. The integration follows the emergence of projects like Ordinals, which highlighted Bitcoin's scripting potential, and a wave of layer-two solutions like BOB, Botanix, Rootstock, and Liquid Network. MetaMask is also preparing for a public offering in the U.S. and has launched features like the MetaMask Card and a large-scale rewards program.
