MetaMask Integrates Stellar, Expanding Multichain Support for Users

MetaMask now supports Stellar addresses but requires manual setup for cross-chain transactions.

MetaMask now supports Stellar addresses but requires manual setup for cross-chain transactions. USDC (USDC) is trading at ₹95.28 ($0.9998). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by CryptoSlate, with live market data added, as of Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:15:01 UTC.

Why it matters

This integration enhances MetaMask's multichain capabilities, potentially increasing Stellar's accessibility and use cases within the MetaMask ecosystem, which has over 30 million monthly active users.

Key takeaways
  • MetaMask added Stellar address support on October 29.
  • Receiving USDC on Stellar requires manual funding and token activation.
  • Stellar's market cap is $5.95B, with XLM price up 3.45% in 24 hours.
  • USDC circulating supply stands at $71.81B.

MetaMask has introduced support for Stellar addresses, allowing users to manage their Stellar accounts directly within the MetaMask interface. This integration adds to MetaMask's existing multichain capabilities, which already support several major blockchain networks.

While the integration enables basic Stellar address management, users need to manually set up and fund their accounts for cross-chain transactions. Specifically, receiving USDC on the Stellar network requires additional steps for token activation and funding.

The integration comes at a time when MetaMask continues to enhance its platform to support a wider range of blockchain networks. This move could potentially increase Stellar's visibility and usage among MetaMask's large user base, which exceeds 30 million monthly active users.

The broader crypto market remains in a downturn, with Bitcoin down 2.39% in the last 24 hours and the overall market cap at $2.66 trillion. Despite this, Stellar's XLM token has seen a 3.45% increase in price over the same period, while USDC's market cap remains stable at $71.65 billion.

The integration could have implications for both MetaMask and Stellar, potentially driving more users to explore Stellar's features through MetaMask's platform. However, the requirement for manual setup may act as a barrier to widespread adoption of Stellar transactions within the MetaMask ecosystem.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDC ≈ ₹103.87 (about $0.9998), up 0.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.0% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
