MetaMask Introduces Perpetual Futures Trading and Prepares for Polymarket Integration
Date: 2025-10-09 Author: Oliver Abernathy Categories: BUSINESS
MetaMask has officially launched perpetual futures trading in its wallet via the Hyperliquid platform. Users can now open derivatives positions without leaving the app interface. The new feature is already available in several regions and simplifies the process of working with DeFi instruments.
The developers note that balance replenishment can now be completed with a single click from any EVM-compatible network, and swap fees for perpetual contracts have been completely waived. These improvements are aimed at increasing convenience and expanding access to decentralized trading.
According to MetaMask, the volume of trades on DEX platforms involving perpetual contracts exceeded $765 billion in August 2025. This new feature fits into the company's strategy of transforming the wallet into a universal tool for DeFi and prediction markets.
The next stage of the project's development is integration with Polymarket, one of the largest decentralized forecasting platforms. This will allow users to bet on real events directly from MetaMask, without having to navigate to third-party websites. This solution will be part of the affiliate program and complement the launch of the native MASK token, confirmed in August.
Gal Eldar, Head of Global Products at MetaMask, emphasized that these steps reflect the company's commitment to connecting users with key segments of global financial markets. According to him, MetaMask intends to "expand the concept of digital asset ownership into new financial spaces."
At the same time, the company is launching the MetaMask Rewards loyalty program, built on three-month seasonal cycles. During each phase, users will earn points for participating in perpetual futures trading, token swaps, and inviting new participants. In the future, rewards will also be awarded for MetaMask card transactions and for holding the mUSD stablecoin.
Earned points can be exchanged for various benefits, including a share of the $30 million Linea token pool, reduced fees, priority support, and free annual service for the MetaMask Metal premium card.
This marks another step toward transforming MetaMask's wallet into a fully-fledged DeFi hub, integrating trading, prediction markets, and a rewards system. The company previously added the ability to create wallets through Google and Apple IDs, and is now strengthening its ecosystem with new tools for active users.
