MetaMask Adds Perpetual Futures Trading, Prepares Polymarket Integration

MetaMask announced on Wednesday the rollout of perpetual futures trading and a new rewards system on its platform, alongside plans to integrate prediction markets through a partnership with Polymarket.

The new perpetual trading feature, using Hyperliquid’s (HYPE) builder codes, allows users to trade derivatives directly within their MetaMask wallet. “This marks another step in transforming MetaMask into an onchain platform for personal finance. Ultimately, we’re working not just to bring people onchain, but to create the reasons users will never want to leave”, said Gal Eldar, the Global Product Lead at MetaMask. 

HYPE’s price was up as much as 2.5% in the last 24 hours even as the broader cryptocurrency market shed value. On Stocktwits, however, retail sentiment around the altcoin continued to trend in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day.

The seasonal points system is launching in select regions with level-based rewards. Users will be able to earn points every time they swap tokens or engage in perpetual trading on the platform. User will also be able to earn points through referrals and spending on the MetaMask Card. Even holding MetaMask’s newly minted stablecoin (MUSD) in a MetaMask wallet can earn rewards, the company said.

Rewards include perks like one free year of the MetaMask Metal Card, time-limited points boosts, priority customer support, fee discounts, and over $30 million in Linea (LINEA) token allocations.

Later this year, MetaMask said it plans to expand its platform with prediction market integration via Polymarket. "These launches follow MetaMask’s recent confirmation that it will launch a token, long anticipated by the community and now officially in motion, as part of its broader strategy to open new ways for users to engage," the company said. 

The announcement follows speculation that MetaMask would add perpetual trading functionality, first indicated in a pull request on the project’s GitHub repository.
