MetaMask, the world’s most popular crypto wallet, is shaking up the blockchain landscape in 2025 with a wave of bold new features and a long-anticipated native token that could redefine how millions interact with decentralized finance.
MetaMask Goes All-In on Trading
In October 2025, MetaMask announced the launch of
Perpetual Futures (Perps) trading directly within its wallet, marking a dramatic leap from simple crypto storage to a full-fledged trading and investment hub. Powered by Hyperliquid, a leading decentralized exchange, users can now access advanced trading tools—like perpetual contracts on over 150 token markets—without ever leaving the MetaMask app. This move puts MetaMask in direct competition with centralized exchanges, but with the added benefit of self-custody: users retain full control of their assets and private keys at all times.
The redesigned mobile app boasts faster speeds, lower latency, and one-click funding from any EVM-compatible blockchain. Zero swap fees on perps sweeten the deal, making MetaMask one of the first wallets to offer native perpetual trading in permitted regions.
MetaMask Rewards: A New Era of User Incentives
Alongside trading, MetaMask is rolling out
MetaMask Rewards, a points-based loyalty program set to launch by the end of October. Users earn points for swaps, bridges, and perpetual trades, with future seasons promising even broader perks and deeper integration across the MetaMask ecosystem—including with the upcoming MetaMask token.
The MASK Token: Crypto’s Most Anticipated Airdrop?
Rumors of a MetaMask token have swirled for years, but 2025 has brought concrete signs that the
MASK token is finally on the way. ConsenSys founder Joe Lubin and MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay have confirmed that a token launch is on the roadmap, aiming to further decentralize MetaMask, Infura, and related services.
The MASK token is expected to offer:
-
Governance rights over MetaMask’s development
-
Staking incentives and possible fee discounts
-
Cross-platform utility across the ConsenSys ecosystem
While no official airdrop date has been announced, MetaMask has registered a domain for token claims, fueling speculation that the launch is imminent. However, the team warns users to beware of scams: any MASK token currently trading is unofficial and potentially fraudulent.
Security and Multichain Expansion
Security remains a top priority. In October, MetaMask joined forces with the Security Alliance (SEAL) and other major wallets to launch a real-time phishing defense network, aiming to create a “decentralized immune system” for crypto security. This initiative allows instant sharing of phishing reports across wallets, bolstering protection for millions of users.
MetaMask is also embracing the multichain future. The wallet now supports
multichain accounts, allowing users to manage assets across multiple blockchains—including native support for Bitcoin and Solana—within a single MetaMask account. This is a major step toward making MetaMask a true universal wallet for the decentralized web.
What’s Next for MetaMask?
With over 30 million monthly active users and a relentless pace of innovation, MetaMask is cementing its role as the gateway to Web3. The upcoming MASK token, expanded trading features, and robust security partnerships signal a new era—not just for MetaMask, but for the entire decentralized finance ecosystem.
Key Takeaways:- MetaMask now offers in-wallet perpetual futures trading and a rewards program.
- The long-awaited MASK token is confirmed and likely launching soon, but beware of scams.
- Security and multichain support are top priorities, with new partnerships and features rolling out rapidly.
Stay tuned—MetaMask’s next move could reshape how we all interact with crypto.
