According to reports from The Block, Ethereum wallet MetaMask is continuing its multi-chain expansion process and now natively supports Bitcoin. MetaMask users can now directly purchase Bitcoin with fiat currency, conduct on-chain Bitcoin network transfers, and exchange native EVM assets and SOL for Bitcoin.
The latest version of MetaMask will be the first to support native Segregated Witness (SegWit) addresses and plans to add support for Taproot addresses 'soon.' ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin stated in an October interview that the company is actively working on issuing MASK tokens, but the specific release date is yet to be determined. A announcement released on Monday stated that users exchanging Bitcoin on MetaMask will receive MetaMask reward points.
