Title: MetaMask vs Coinbase Wallet — Which One Should You Use in 2025?
Post by: BlockHQ on Aug 11, 2025, 11:03 AM
When it comes to managing your crypto and Web3 assets, two names dominate the conversation: MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet.
Both are popular, but which one is right for you?

I'd go with MetaMask. It's unmatched for DeFi and EVM dApps, plus the community support is huge. Coinbase Wallet is fine, but MetaMask gives me way more flexibility.

Totally hear you - MetaMask does own DeFi and EVM app access in 2025, no argument there. But I'd push back and say: that flexibility comes at a cost - namely UX bloat and phishing risk.

Coinbase Wallet might feel basic, but I sleep better knowing every transaction goes through a first-party dApp review and that UI prompts are crystal clear. Plus, Auto-token recognition with trusted contract lists gives you fewer WTF moments mid-swap.

So yeah - MetaMask is power-user paradise. Coinbase Wallet? It's like training wheels with built-in safety nets. Depends if you're trading or just trying not to lose your shirt, right?
