Wallet users will be able to participate in Polymarket's prediction markets directly from the app.

Self-custody wallet MetaMask announced a series of new features aimed at expanding its services beyond simple custody of funds on Ethereum, Ethereum-compatible networks (EVM), and Solana.

MetaMask will soon natively integrate Polymarket prediction markets, launch perpetual futures trading, and, as CriptoNoticias reported a few days ago, will introduce a rewards program for its users.

The most notable agreement is the exclusive partnership with Polymarket, the largest prediction market platform in the industry. Expected later this year, the integration will allow MetaMask users to participate directly from the wallet in prediction markets on a wide range of events, including sports, politics, and digital asset price flows. With this move, MetaMask will become the first wallet to offer this functionality natively.

Additionally, MetaMask has already enabled perpetual futures trading within its app, a feature powered by the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid.

These developments, along with the confirmation that the company will launch its own token, mark a strategic shift for MetaMask. The goal, according to the company, is to transform the wallet into a comprehensive financial platform, where users can trade, invest, and speculate while maintaining self-custody of their assets at all times.
