MetaMask, one of the most widely used crypto wallets, has introduced a major structural change that allows a single account to operate across multiple blockchains. This upgrade moves MetaMask beyond its traditional Ethereum-only framework, letting users manage Ethereum, EVM-compatible networks, Solana, and soon Bitcoin under one unified account. Consequently, users will no longer need to switch between different wallets or maintain several seed phrases to manage assets across ecosystems.
One Account for All Chains
The new multichain functionality has been automatically rolled out in MetaMask Mobile version 7.57 and the Extension version 13.5. Existing users can access the update without any manual action. Besides simplifying wallet management, the new model uses the BIP-44 derivation path, enabling one recovery phrase to organize multiple accounts securely.
Moreover, MetaMask confirmed that existing EVM and Solana addresses would remain valid and automatically pair based on their creation order. If users previously created more Solana accounts than EVM ones, the system will generate new EVM addresses accordingly. This shift means fewer accounts to track and smoother cross-chain operations an important step toward a more interoperable crypto experience.
However, hardware wallets remain limited to EVM support for now, with Solana integration expected in later updates. This enhancement positions MetaMask as one of the first major wallets to bridge both EVM and Solana ecosystems natively, signaling a growing demand for unified crypto experiences.
Mask Token Speculation and Launch Rumors
While users welcomed the upgrade, speculation around MetaMask’s rumored token, MASK, resurfaced. A website claiming to be the claims portal for the token briefly appeared online before redirecting to MetaMask’s homepage. Though no official confirmation has been made, anticipation remains high among community members who expect a native token rollout to follow soon.
Solana’s Institutional Boost with Bitwise ETF
Meanwhile, Solana’s market performance remains under the spotlight as the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) launches on the New York Stock Exchange. According to CryptosRus, JPMorgan expects between $3 billion and $6 billion in inflows within the first year, potentially replicating the early success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

Additionally, Grayscale’s GSOL fund is set to convert to a spot ETF, further widening institutional exposure to Solana. Analysts now eye a breakout above $280 as a key technical trigger that could propel SOL toward $412. The token currently trades near $198, reflecting renewed optimism around ETF-driven liquidity and staking demand.
