PANews reported on December 16th that, according to The Block, the 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 exchange native EVM assets and SOL for Bitcoin. The latest version of MetaMask will initially 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 the MASK token, but a specific issuance date has not yet been determined. An announcement released on Monday stated that users who exchange Bitcoin on MetaMask will receive MetaMask reward points.
