$ETH Although official plans have not been confirmed, Finlay acknowledged that the changing regulatory environment in the U.S. could offer greater flexibility for the launch of compliant tokens, especially under the current administration. He encouraged cryptocurrency developers to seize the moment to explore new opportunities, suggesting that this could open the door to new innovations.

MetaMask has explored the idea of a token in the past, with internal discussions and public indications dating back to 2021. The proposed token, MASK, was conceived as part of a strategy to gradually decentralize ConsenSys products. According to previous statements, the token would focus on community funding rather than governance, with mechanisms to prevent speculative airdrop events.

Finlay also warned about the risks of hype, which often becomes a magnet for phishing attempts. He stated that any legitimate token launch would only be visible in the wallet itself or on MetaMask's official channels, and nowhere else.

MetaMask remains the most used wallet on the Ethereum network, serving tens of millions of users monthly.
