Bitcoin News Today: Tron Integrated Natively Into MetaMask Boosting Accessibility and Adoption

The Tron network has officially launched natively within Consensys’ popular self-custodial crypto wallet, MetaMask, marking a significant expansion for both platforms. The integration makes Tron the third major non-Ethereum-based blockchain to receive native support from MetaMask, following Solana and BNB Smart Chain [1]. This move allows users to interact directly with Tron-based assets and decentralized applications without the need for third-party bridges or additional tools, significantly improving the user experience [2].

The partnership was announced by Tron DAO, with a spokesperson emphasizing that MetaMask’s extensive user base and reputation make it a vital gateway to decentralized applications [3]. Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi, director of business development at MetaMask, highlighted Tron’s strong presence in Asia and the strategic value of the integration in fostering cross-regional and cross-ecosystem collaboration [4].

MetaMask has increasingly expanded its blockchain support beyond Ethereum, including layer-2 networks such as BNB Smart Chain and Sei, as well as major altchains like Solana. The Tron integration continues this trend and reflects the broader industry shift toward cross-chain interoperability [5].

The partnership could further benefit Tron, particularly as MetaMask recently announced a self-custody crypto card in collaboration with Mastercard, although it is currently only available through a limited waiting list [6]. The integration aligns with Tron’s recent strategic moves, including a planned reverse merger on the U.S. stock market and the rebranding of SRM Entertainment to Tron Inc. [7].

Tron’s native token, TRX, has shown a strong uptrend in 2025, gaining 37% year-to-date and surpassing its 2021 market cycle peak. It has traded at $0.347 as of the latest data, according to CoinGecko [8]. The token surged 166% following the November U.S. election, reaching an all-time high of $0.43 in early December 2024 [9].

The integration into MetaMask is seen as a strategic win for Tron, which has faced regulatory and legal challenges in the past. With increased visibility and accessibility provided by one of the most widely used crypto wallets, the platform is expected to see greater adoption and usage of its assets [10].
