MetaMask co-founder claims native token issuance is still a "maybe"

[MetaMask co-founder says native token issuance is still 'maybe'] MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay said in an interview with The Block that the team is still considering whether to launch a native token. "Maybe," Finlay said with a smile as he talked about the possibility of launching a MetaMask token. "If we really want to do it, it's going to be advertised directly in the wallet. You'll find the link directly in your wallet. While there are no clear plans yet, Finlay noted that in the Trump administration's more lax regulatory environment, "it is safe to have a wider variety of token offerings" and "hopefully people will seize this opportunity to push boundaries and set new precedents." He stressed that the token will not be promoted through social media, text messages or emails: "It will appear in the wallet, it will be on our website. MetaMask is part of Ethereum development company ConsenSys and has about 30 million monthly active users as of 2024.
