Crypto: MetaMask to Add Tron Support in Upcoming Integration

MetaMask, the wallet developed by Consensys and used by more than 100 million users worldwide, announced that it will natively integrate the Tron blockchain. This long-awaited evolution confirms the expansion strategy of the crypto giant beyond Ethereum. It follows the recent additions of Sei and Solana.

MetaMask announces the arrival of Tron to its list of supported blockchains

Tron DAO and MetaMask officially announced yesterday, Tuesday, August 19, a strategic partnership marking a new step for the Tron ecosystem. The 100 million users of the crypto wallet by Consensys will soon be able to directly access the Tron network.

With this announced native integration, Tron will join Solana, BNB Smart Chain, and Sei in the exclusive circle of non-Ethereum blockchains supported by MetaMask.

According to the Tron DAO spokesperson, Sam Elfarra, MetaMask’s large user base and well-established reputation make it an essential gateway to decentralized applications. 

This stance highlights the strategic importance of this alliance for Tron, which seeks to strengthen its global presence and consolidate its role in digital finance.

The integration also follows a clear geographical logic. As Angel Gonzalez-Capizzi, head of business development at MetaMask, points out, “Tron’s strong presence in Asia” makes it an essential partner. 

This region is indeed the true bastion of blockchain, which has established itself there as the leader in USDT transactions.

Figures confirm this dominance: Tron processes more than $22 billion daily and nearly 9 million transactions. These colossal volumes illustrate the robustness of its infrastructure and explain MetaMask’s growing interest in this blockchain founded by Justin Sun.

Tron rides the Trump wave and targets Wall Street

The integration takes place in a particularly favorable context for Tron. Indeed, since the American elections in November, the TRX token has surged by 166%, reaching a historic peak of $0.43 in early December 2024. This spectacular rise reflects the pro-crypto momentum driven by the Trump administration.

Justin Sun, the charismatic founder of Tron, has capitalized on this dynamic. A major buyer of the TRUMP memecoin, he was even seen at the VIP gala dinner held in May. 

His closeness to the Trump circle is such that Eric Trump himself described him as “the biggest fan of Tron,” even calling Sun a “great friend and icon in the crypto space.”

This rapprochement with the new administration opens unprecedented prospects for Tron in the United States. For example, in June, SRM Entertainment announced its transformation into “Tron Inc.”, adopting a treasury strategy centered on TRX with Sun as advisor. 

This operation, presented as a reverse merger in view of a stock market listing, illustrates the growing ambitions of the project in the American market.

The alliance with MetaMask logically fits into this expansion plan. Consensys’ wallet, which recently unveiled a crypto card in partnership with Mastercard, thus offers Tron an ideal entry point to Western users and strengthens its legitimacy in global digital finance.

A convergence that redefines crypto interoperability

This integration marks a turning point in MetaMask’s strategy. After adding Solana in May and announcing future Bitcoin support for the third quarter of 2025, the wallet confirms its ambition to establish itself as the multi-chain reference. 

Dan Finlay, co-founder of MetaMask, also revived the idea of a native token, a project that makes complete sense in this expansion context.

In short, for Tron, the alliance goes far beyond a simple technical connection. It constitutes a true validation of its legitimacy against heavyweights such as Ethereum and Solana, while opening new prospects in Western markets. In a sector where interoperability becomes the lifeblood of growth, this rapprochement with MetaMask could thus accelerate global adoption and strengthen Tron’s position at the heart of digital finance.
