The perpetual futures trading feature went live on October 8, powered by Hyperliquid. Users can now trade derivatives directly within their MetaMask wallet in select regions. The feature supports one-click funding from any Ethereum Virtual Machine chain and eliminates swap fees for perpetual trades.
Decentralized perpetual futures trading has grown rapidly, with global DEX volume reaching $765 billion in August 2025. Hyperliquid currently leads the decentralized perps market. However, these figures remain smaller than centralized exchanges like Binance, which offer simpler user experiences.
MetaMask aims to provide a centralized exchange-like experience while maintaining the security benefits of decentralized platforms. The company hopes this approach will capture market share from centralized exchanges.
Polymarket Integration Coming Later This Year
MetaMask will integrate Polymarket’s prediction markets later in 2025 through an exclusive partnership. Users will be able to buy and sell shares to bet on real-world events including elections, sports, and company earnings results directly through the MetaMask wallet.
The integration will be available worldwide except in the US, UK, France, Singapore, Poland, Thailand, Australia, Belgium, Taiwan, and Ontario, Canada. Gal Eldar, MetaMask’s global product lead, said the partnership aligns with the company’s goal to evolve from a crypto wallet into a gateway to global, democratized finance.
Prediction markets have become one of crypto’s hottest use cases. Adoption accelerated around the time of the US election in November 2024.
Trading volumes on prediction markets have cooled from their peaks but remain strong. Polymarket and Kalshi saw $1.43 billion and $2.74 billion in volume respectively in September, surpassing their previous combined record from November 2024.
Wall Street Takes Notice
Wall Street has begun paying attention to prediction markets. On Tuesday, Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, invested $2 billion in Polymarket. The investment valued the platform at $9 billion.
Eldar explained that prediction markets work as “fundamentally truth-seeking” systems. When incentives align and participation is broad, markets become self-correcting systems that push closer to reality. The deeper and more liquid they become, the faster they converge around accurate outcomes.
MetaMask Rewards Program
MetaMask will launch its Rewards program in permitted regions by the end of October. The program operates on a seasonal points system with three-month cycles.
Users accumulate points through token swaps, perpetual trades, referrals, and soon through spending via the MetaMask Card or holding mUSD stablecoin. Points unlock tiered benefits including $30 million in LINEA token allocations, perpetual fee discounts, priority customer support, points boosts, and a free year of the MetaMask Metal Card.
These launches follow MetaMask’s recent confirmation that it will launch a token called MASK. Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin stated in a recent interview with The Block that the company is actively working on the MASK launch, though the exact date remains unclear.
MetaMask was built by Consensys and serves as one of the most widely used crypto wallets. The new features represent the platform’s push to expand beyond basic wallet functionality into trading and speculation on real-world events.
