MetaMask Adds Native TRON Support for Mobile and Browser Wallets

MetaMask has announced the launch of native support for the Tron network across its mobile app and browser extension wallets. The integration was developed in collaboration with Tron DAO and is part of MetaMask's broader multichain strategy.

With the integration now live, users can manage Tron-based assets and interact with decentralized applications on the Tron blockchain directly within the MetaMask wallet. The update allows for cross-chain asset swaps, sending USDT on Tron, and staking TRX, all without relying on additional wallets.

The move is significant for Tron, which processes over $21 billion in daily stablecoin transfer volume. Tron DAO's Sam Elfarra noted that the integration supports payment and DeFi use cases by offering a familiar wallet interface to access the network.

Why the Move Happened

MetaMask's product manager, Rizvi Haider, stated that the Tron integration is another milestone in the company's multichain strategy. MetaMask has previously expanded to include support for non-EVM networks like Solana and Bitcoin.

The Tron network has become a major settlement layer for global stablecoin activity, with hundreds of millions of user accounts and billions of transactions recorded. As of this month, the network's total value locked exceeds $25 billion.

How Markets Responded

The integration is expected to increase liquidity and network adoption for Tron. Tron's stablecoin market capitalization has risen to $82.85 billion, nearing its record high of $83 billion.

In addition to the wallet integration, the Deribit platform launched TRX options trading, offering various expiry types to investors. This development further enhances institutional-grade derivatives access to the Tron ecosystem.

The price of TRX has shown a bullish trend, trading above $0.30 on Thursday after a retest of the upper boundary of a falling wedge pattern. The on-chain data indicates a positive outlook with rising whale orders and stablecoin activity.

What Analysts Are Watching

Analysts are monitoring the impact of MetaMask's integration on Tron's network usage and token adoption. The integration could drive increased user activity and attract new users to the Tron ecosystem.

The RSI on the daily chart for TRX reads 67, suggesting that bullish momentum is gaining traction. If the trend continues, TRX could potentially extend its rally toward the $0.32 level.

Investors are also watching MetaMask's future expansion plans, including potential support for other non-EVM blockchains. The move to become a multichain access point signals MetaMask's broader vision to support diverse blockchain ecosystems.
