MetaMask will introduce batched transactions, allowing users to combine multiple actions and reduce steps and costs.
BTCUSD remains bearish on H1, with bullish correction and confluence level influencing its next direction.
MetaMask plans to expand its network support and update its
transaction features this year. The self-custodial crypto wallet will integrate
the Bitcoin network in the third quarter and Solana in May. Solana will be the
first non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain on MetaMask.
Meanwhile, BTCUSD has been bearish on the H1 chart. Over the
last five hours, the price has been heading north. A confluence level could
play a key role in determining its next direction on the intraday charts.
Introducing Batched Transactions and Gas-Free Swaps
MetaMask will upgrade its gas-included swaps feature. Users
will be able to pay for swaps with any token they hold. The company aims to
eventually remove gas fees from most interactions, Cointelegraph reported.
The wallet will adopt ERC-5792, enabling batched
transactions. This feature will let users combine multiple actions, such as
token approvals and swaps, in one click. MetaMask will also transition from
Externally Owned Accounts to smart-contract-based accounts. The shift is
expected to improve security and unlock additional functions.
New Wallet Features Enable Multi-Chain View, Recovery
Management
A new home screen will allow users to view assets across
multiple chains in one place. The wallet will also introduce the ability to
manage multiple Secret Recovery Phrases from a single interface.
MetaMask recently launched MetaMask Card in partnership with
Mastercard. The card links self-custodial wallets with merchants worldwide.
Some users on X suggested that MetaMask has lost market
share to competitors like Phantom and Rabby, which support Solana. Many of the
top-performing tokens from the 2024 memecoin trend were traded on Solana.

BTCUSD Confluence Resistance Level in Focus
The BTCUSD H1 chart indicates a prolonged downtrend. A
bearish trend line is visible, and the 83350 level could act as a resistance
point. This suggests the price may encounter a confluence resistance level.
A bearish pattern at this confluence level could trigger
further downward momentum. Conversely, a bullish breakout at this level may
shift the intraday outlook.
In a bullish “hyperbitcoinization” scenario, the
price could reach $350,000. A black swan scenario suggests a peak of $500,000.
These projections are based on expectations of increased institutional adoption
and broader blockchain integration in global finance. However, DeepSeek AI
highlights the uncertainty and volatility surrounding these forecasts.
