A crypto wallet is an essential tool in the crypto world, granting you access to various digital assets and decentralized applications. One of the most prominent wallets to consider is the MetaMask Wallet. According to the Daily HODL, in January 2024 alone, MetaMask reported over 30 million monthly active users. That's why today, we're going to show you how to create your own wallet using MetaMask.

While we'll focus on MetaMask, it's worth noting that there are several other wallets available, such as TrustWallet, Phantom, ExodusWallet, and more.

TL;DR

To create a MetaMask wallet, start by downloading the MetaMask app from your device's app store. Open the app, select "Create a new wallet," agree to the terms, set a password, and securely save your recovery phrase. Once done, you can add funds by transferring cryptocurrency like USDT from a centralised exchange (e.g., MEXC) to your MetaMask wallet. Always ensure the transfer network matches the token's blockchain (e.g., Ethereum for USDT). Keep your recovery phrase safe, research thoroughly before investing in crypto, and stay updated on market trends for smarter decisions.

Step 3: Adding Funds

Now that your wallet is ready, you can start to add funds to your MetaMaks Wallet. For this, you need to have some sort of currency that you want to exchange for another crypto.

Start by going to the CEX (Centralised Exchange) of your choice. For this guide, we'll be using MEXC, but you can use any other CEX.

  • Go to the MEXC app and tap on the "Wallets" icon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
