Polymarket odds briefly jumped above 40% after the new domains hinted at an imminent MASK airdrop.<\/p>\n

\n

Speculation that a MetaMask token<\/a> will drop before the end of the year has picked up after the Ethereum wallet provider registered a new domain for token claims earlier today. <\/p>\n

According to multiple sources, MetaMask registered<\/a> two domains today \u2013 \u201cclaim.metamask.io\u201d and \u201cgift.metamask.io\u201d \u2013 both of which currently redirect users to the company\u2019s homepage.<\/p>\n

Polymarket traders responded quickly, pushing the odds of a MetaMask token launch in 2025 above 40%, up from 11% a week ago. However, the market has since settled back down to 17% at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

The domain registration has sparked excitement across crypto forums and social media, fueling rumors of $MASK coming within weeks. <\/p>\n

Jake Kennis, a Senior Research Analyst at Nansen, told The Defiant that the airdrop is just a matter of time. With over 30 million users, a token could grant governance rights, perks, and rewards for historical activity, \u201cmaking it potentially one of crypto\u2019s largest airdrops by reach,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kennis added that a MetaMask token could also influence other popular wallets, like Phantom or Rabby, to consider tokenized roadmaps sooner. \u201cWith many token launches in recent months and constructive regulatory clarity, the momentum Consensys has seen across its product suite, such as Linea TGE, SBET and others, it may be an opportune time for them to launch a token in order to align a token economy across its diverse product suite,\u201d Kennis said. <\/p>\n

Daniel Brunsdon, Growth and Product Lead at Holonym, said the timing makes sense from a strategic perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cMetaMask\u2019s dominance is being challenged by new wallet models that focus on embedded UX, stronger security primitives, and compliance tooling, things a basic extension wallet wasn\u2019t built for,\u201d Brunsdon said. “If they\u2019re launching a token now, it may be a way to shift the narrative, build community leverage, or lay the groundwork for a pivot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brunsdon added that wallets are evolving from simple interfaces into infrastructure layers that handle custody, compliance, and identity. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing shifts toward Wallet-as-a-Protocol architectures and security models like 2PC,\u201d he said. \u201cEven Ledger\u2019s recent rebrand of their Nano as a \u2018signer\u2019 hints at this transformation.\u201d <\/p>\n

Tokens linked to that kind of infrastructure evolution can be powerful, he said; however, he noted that if \u201cwe keep launching tokens before we fix wallets themselves, we\u2019ll keep compounding problems, not solving them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joseph Lubin, founder of blockchain software firm Consensys, first set off speculation of a $MASK token back in 2021<\/a> after tweeting, \u201cWen $MASK? Stay tuned.\u201d However, it wasn\u2019t until this past August that Lubin confirmed that a MetaMask token is indeed in the works and could launch sooner than expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
