MetaMask, the popular crypto wallet developed by Consensys, is going deeper into crypto trading and speculation, adding perpetual swaps trading and announcing plans to add Polymarket prediction markets to its platform.
The company announced Wednesday that the Polymarket integration will come later this year as part of an exclusive partnership, allowing users in approved regions to access on-chain prediction markets directly within its app. Users will be able to bet on real outcomes, from elections to cryptocurrency price movements, without giving up custody of their assets.
Alongside Polymarket’s plans, MetaMask also rolled out perpetual futures trading within its app on Wednesday. The new feature is supported by a decentralized derivative protocol, integrating one of the most active cryptocurrency markets into the wallet itself.
Perpetuals are contracts that allow users to trade on future price movements without expiration and account for approximately 75% of all crypto volume. Hyperliquide is a major player in this fast-growing segment, with a trading volume of $275 billion last month, according to data from TokenTerminal.
The MetaMask release includes a redesigned mobile app, no swap fees, and one-click funding on EVM-enabled chains, the press release said.
Upcoming MetaMask Token
MetaMask said it would also launch a points-based rewards program linked to user activity by the end of this month, leading up to the long-awaited launch of its tokens.
The program will cover trading, referrals and usage of the MetaMask card, with rewards including fee reductions and token allocations. In the first phase, the company allocated $30 million in native token of Linea, the layer 2 Ethereum network also developed by Consensys. These points, as well as the future, will eventually be connected to the next token currently in the works.
The latest plans follow MetaMask’s launch of its bespoke MetaMask USD (MUSD) stablecoin with Stripe’s Bridge and M0. The token surpassed $100 million in supply in a month.
