Consensys is splitting and MetaMask is becoming its own company. Consensys plans to separate $MASK from its Ethereum infrastructure business by the end of 2026. The existing company will rebrand as MetaMask, with $ETH Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin as chairman and CEO. The new Consensys will focus on Ethereum infrastructure, Linea and institutional blockchain solutions for tokenized assets, stablecoins and settlement. MetaMask already has 100M+ downloads and is expanding beyond wallets into payments, savings and investing through its Money Account and mUSD stablecoin. Meanwhile, the restructuring comes as Consensys’ potential U.S. IPO remains uncertain after the company pushed its timeline back. The split could give both businesses a clearer identity: MetaMask chasing consumer financial products, while Consensys focuses on the infrastructure powering institutional adoption. Could this separation make MetaMask easier to scale — and Consensys easier to take public? #BTC Price Analysis# #Macro Insights# #Altcoin Season#
