**Description:**

Today the `send` deeplink / universal link only works for EVM assets. Even though MetaMask Mobile now supports native Bitcoin (BTC) accounts and can send BTC in-app, there is no deeplink URL structure that opens the app directly into the BTC **send** flow with a recipient address (and optionally amount) pre-filled.

Example of what works today (EVM): `https://metamask.app.link/send/0xRecipient@1?value=1e17`

There is no equivalent that routes to the Bitcoin send flow — a BTC address or a BIP-21 URI (`bitcoin:bc1q...?amount=0.01`) is not recognized by the deeplink handler, so the user has to manually open MetaMask, switch to their BTC account, tap Send, and paste the address.

Requested: extend the `send` deeplink to accept Bitcoin, either by

1. **BIP-21 passthrough** — accept `bitcoin:<address>?amount=<btc>` and route to the BTC send flow, or
2. **Chain-scoped address form** — a BTC equivalent of the EVM `address@chainId` pattern,

pre-filling recipient + amount, the same way the EVM deeplink does.

**Purpose:**

Lets partners/apps hand off a ready-to-confirm Bitcoin send to MetaMask via a single link, matching the existing EVM experience. Since the in-app Unified Send already handles BTC, this is mostly a deeplink-parsing/routing gap rather than new wallet functionality. Removes the manual “open app → switch account → paste address” steps and reduces user error for BTC transfers.

**Extension/Mobile/Both:**

Mobile (BTC accounts are a mobile feature)

Currently, the ETH deeplink has bug as well:
