MetaMask Expands Capabilities with Tron Blockchain Support
Date: 2025-08-20 Author: Henry Casey Categories: BUSINESS
Popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask has officially announced plans to integrate the Tron blockchain, which will allow users to store and transact TRC-20 tokens, including the most sought-after stablecoin USDT. The cooperation agreement was reportedly reached with the TRON DAO, the organization behind the development of the Tron ecosystem, writes The Block.
The Tron blockchain, created in 2017 by Chinese entrepreneur Justin Sun, has already become the platform with the largest USDT issuance — over $82 billion out of a total of $167 billion. As of August 19, 2025, the network has registered over 326 million accounts, conducted over 11 billion transactions, and the total value locked (TVL) exceeds $28.5 billion.
MetaMask was initially developed for Ethereum users, but gradually expanded support for other blockchains, including BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Optimism. This allowed the wallet to become a universal tool for storing and managing crypto assets.
According to MetaMask's Director of Business Development Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi, the expansion to Tron will allow the wallet to enter the Asian market, where the project has a significant presence.
Tron's native token (TRX) is the eighth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of around $33 billion. Over the past week, the price of TRX has remained stable, trading around $0.35, down 21% from its December 2024 high of $0.44.
The integration of Tron into MetaMask opens up new opportunities for wallet users: they will now be able to store and transfer TRC-20 tokens, including USDT, directly in the familiar wallet interface. This also creates prospects for further expansion of functionality and improving the availability of cryptocurrency services for users around the world.
The cooperation between MetaMask and TRON DAO demonstrates a growing trend towards merging various blockchain ecosystems, allowing crypto platforms to become more compatible and user-friendly. Experts note that such steps contribute to increasing liquidity and popularization of digital assets in the international arena.
Thus, the integration of Tron into MetaMask strengthens the wallet’s position as one of the most versatile tools for working with cryptocurrencies and opens up new opportunities for users around the world. In the coming months, we can expect this feature to become available to a wider audience, increasing the appeal of MetaMask for holders of TRX and other Tron tokens.
