Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Consensys announced on September 9, 2026, that it will split into two independently operated companies, separating MetaMask as a consumer-focused financial business from its remaining operations. Mike Kriak, described as Joseph Lubin’s right hand, will lead the newly restructured Consensys as CEO. The reorganization marks one of the most significant structural changes for a long-standing crypto company and elevates the leadership question alongside the corporate split itself. The article frames the transition as a crucial business decision, with Kriak’s role presented as central to executing the carve-out. What to watch next is how the two independent entities take shape, particularly MetaMask’s standalone consumer strategy and the direction of the remaining Consensys business under Kriak.
