The Dypto Times

How many of you have gone out of your way to stick to EVM-compatible chains just because you didn’t feel like using a secondary wallet? 

We’re guilty. And we reckon some of you are as well.

Sure, Rabby is great and all, but it can be a hassle to manage multiple wallets. MetaMask is about to fix that for users (i.e…us). Let’s get after it.

From the Dypto Crypto Newsroom

MetaMask Expanding with Solana and Bitcoin Support

TLDR

• For years, MetaMask has only supported EVM-compatible chains.

• That’s changing in 2025.

• The company is adding support for Bitcoin and Solana.

MetaMask, a go-to crypto wallet for Ethereum enthusiasts, is breaking new ground. We don’t know why this news wasn’t picked up by all the major outlets because it’s a huge deal. This year, the popular wallet will extend its support to two major players in the blockchain space—Solana and Bitcoin. 

Why This Matters

If you’re just starting your crypto journey, these updates lower the barrier to entry. You no longer need separate wallets or tools to engage with Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin ecosystems. This simplifies crypto management, which is one of the industry’s biggest problems.

For seasoned crypto users, the multichain API enhances flexibility and opens up new functionality across decentralized finance platforms. This could save time, prevent errors, and help maintain focus on maximizing your investments.

Caitlin Long Says Crypto Debanking Hasn’t Been Addressed 

TLDR

• Many of us thought all of crypto’s woes would dissipate after Trump signed his executive order.

• According to Caitlin Long, that’s not the case.

• Debanking is still an ongoing issue.

One of our team members took his show on the road to ETHDenver last week. He knows we’ve been keeping an eye on debanking problems with crypto companies. He sent us a video of a talk and asked us to write up a report.

Custodia Bank’s Caitlin Long, a known advocate for crypto-friendly banking, pulled no punches when addressing the lack of progress on crypto debanking. Speaking at ETHDenver on Feb. 28, Long criticized the U.S. government for its unchanged stance on crypto’s place in the banking system. 

Change takes time.

Caitlin is right. As far as we can tell, Trump really hasn’t done anything to solve the debanking problem aside from mentioning it specifically in his executive order. But everything involving the government and politics takes time. 

Rome wasn’t built in a day, right? Love Trump or hate him, he gets things done that he says he’s going to get done. But sometimes, it may take him a while. We think there is massive change on the way as far as banking and crypto are concerned. But it’s going to take some time.

The SEC Agrees to Drop Its Case Against Consensys

TLDR

• The SEC has dropped investigations into both Consensys and Gemini.

• The litigation has cost these companies millions of dollars in legal fees, which is tough to pay when the company is debanked.

• Despite the hardships, both companies are breathing sighs of relief.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has agreed in principle to dismiss its lawsuit against blockchain firm Consensys. 

Why this news is relevant.

With both the Consensys and Gemini investigations winding down, the “war on crypto,” as Winklevoss put it, has reached a turning point. 

We’ve had the feeling for a while that the winds of change were upon us. Despite the red markets, we see more and more news every week that confirms our thoughts. 

Most recently, the SEC dropped its case against Kraken. All of the major players facing enforcement action from the agency are now in the clear (as far as we can tell). While the market may be a bit red lately, we don’t think that it will last long. It’s about to be open season on crypto.

Question of the Week

From an Instagram user: Coinbase fees are extremely high, don't we have better options?

Meme of the Week

Deep Dive - Trump’s Reserve

The President recently announced via social media that his stockpile plan has evolved. 

Now including XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) in its reserve, Uncle Sam is signaling a broader acceptance of blockchain technologies. XRP gets a nod for its utility in cross-border payments, Solana brings its speed and low fees (and the President’s meme coin) to the table, while Cardano…well, it’s there, and that’s about as much as we know.

For the average crypto user, this shift doesn’t exactly send immediate ripples through your wallet, but it does reinforce the growing legitimacy of our most hated word in the crypto user vernacular — altcoins. 

It also teases the potential for more regulations tailored to these newly included coins — which, while annoying for libertarian-leaning crypto advocates, could draw in traditional institutions.

Market reactions so far? Price bumps and speculative chaos, as always. The broader implication? Moving from a Bitcoin-only stance to a more varied “digital asset reserve” might better reflect the full potential of blockchain tech. 

However, the specifics of this plan, like storage methods and their effect on regular investors, are still fuzzy. All we can do now is watch the next few moves from both the government and the global crypto scene. Stay tuned.

Question of the Week Answer

Yes. Kraken is an option. So is Binance.US. Fees are high because they include gas fees with their commission fees though some exchanges only charge gas when you remove funds to a bank or hot wallet. Robinhood is also another solid option. They do charge gas fees, but no commission fees. 

No matter what exchange you use, the amount of fees you pay will be based on what chain is used to complete the trade and what their policy is for gas fees and commissions. So if you’re looking to play with ETH or BTC, those fees are usually going to be higher than wheeling and dealing meme coins on Solana.
