Consensys Plans MetaMask Separation From Ethereum Infrastructure Business by End of 2026

Consensys announced plans to operate MetaMask separately from its Ethereum infrastructure business, with the separation expected by the end of 2026. According to NS3.AI, the split will give the wallet and infrastructure businesses distinct operating mandates. The company said the effect on ETH demand will depend on which networks process transactions and how fees are handled. MetaMask added that users do not need to take any action and will keep their app, assets, keys and access.
