- MetaMask token confirmed as coming soon; no official launch date set.
- Several major protocols, including OpenSea and Meteora, plan token launches or airdrops over the next several months.
- Markets for major cryptocurrencies declined after the latest policy meeting, with Bitcoin at $116,300 and Ethereum at $4,510.
- Crypto and NFT activity expected to increase due to anticipated token drops and airdrops.
- Additional industry news includes new ETF launches, a Coinbase wallet recovery by Kevin Durant, and rising interest in crypto index funds.
The co-founder of ConsenSys, Joe Lubin, stated on September 19, 2025, that a MetaMask token will launch “very soon.” The announcement marks the first formal confirmation of a token for the widely used crypto wallet. Other protocols, including OpenSea, have also shared plans for upcoming token releases, signaling a busy period for token launches in late 2024 and early 2025.
No launch timeline or distribution details were given for the MetaMask token. Betting markets currently predict the MASK token will debut in September with only a 3% likelihood. However, OpenSea expects to provide token information in early October, and Meteora and Plasma have set September and October for their token generation events (TGEs). The Pump Fun platform has introduced the PUMP token for trading, but has not confirmed an airdrop date, though one is expected by the end of 2025.
Airdrop discussions are increasing, with crypto influencers speculating on the impact of unclaimed wallet balances returning onchain. One user, “One thing to think about with the MetaMask and Opensea token is that there are a lot of graveyard wallets that have not been onchain in a long time. Depending on how they structure the airdrop, you potentially see a lot of dead wallets forced onchain to claim.” (Threadguy).
Analysts expect the new token launches and airdrops to boost ecosystem activity and trading volumes, particularly on platforms like Solana and for NFTs on OpenSea. Other recent developments include the launch of new exchange-traded funds (ETFs), such as the first crypto index ETF from Grayscale, and the debut of the DOGE ETF, which recorded $17 million in trading volume on its first day.
In addition to token news, Coinbase introduced USDC lending within its app, allowing users to earn yields up to 10.8% through Morpho. Google Cloud and EigenLayer announced a partnership to develop EigenCloud, a verified payment backbone for different financial rails. Notably, NBA star Kevin Durant regained access to Bitcoin purchased in 2016 via his Coinbase wallet.
NFT markets remain steady, with top collections like Punks, Pudgy Penguins, and BAYC holding value. Crypto majors, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana, saw modest declines after the recent FOMC meeting, while other assets like ASTER and IMX outperformed.
