Solana Breaks Into MetaMask: The Ethereum Wallet Just Got a High-Speed Upgrade
Solana’s blockchain—long hailed as the ’Ethereum killer’—just infiltrated MetaMask’s fortress. The integration went live today, letting users swap, store, and stake SOL alongside ETH in crypto’s most ubiquitous wallet.
Why it matters: MetaMask’s 30M+ users now have front-row seats to Solana’s sub-second transactions and dirt-cheap fees. No more wallet-hopping to chase yields on the chain that institutional traders pretend not to love.
The cynical take: Wall Street will spin this as ’interoperability progress’ while quietly seething that retail can now bypass their bloated SOL custodial services. Expect a wave of ’educational’ hit pieces by Friday.
