🇺🇸 RWA News | Consensys Is Splitting Into MetaMask & Institutional Infrastructure
Ethereum infrastructure giant Consensys is splitting into two independent companies by the end of 2026.
🦊 MetaMask → Consumer finance
MetaMask will become a standalone company led by Joseph Lubin, expanding beyond wallets into payments, savings and investing, centered around mUSD.
🏦 Consensys → Institutional finance
A newly formed Consensys will take over Linea, Besu, Teku and institutional blockchain infrastructure, focusing on banks and asset managers adopting tokenized assets, stablecoins, payments and settlement infrastructure.
The separation highlights two increasingly distinct markets emerging on-chain:
Consumer finance through MetaMask.
Institutional tokenization through Consensys.
The company did not disclose which entity, if either, will continue its previously reported IPO plans.
Ethereum infrastructure is evolving from one ecosystem into specialized financial platforms for both consumers and institutions. 🌐
