MetaMask has officially launched its Polymarket-powered prediction markets in the MetaMask Mobile app, expanding the crypto wallet’s functionality beyond token storage and trading. MetaMask is now the first self-custodial wallet with built-in access to prediction markets, according to a new feature revealed on Thursday.
Polymarket Integration Makes Metamask The First Wallet With Built-In Predictions.
MetaMask teased everlasting futures trading and a new rewards scheme in a blog post on October 8, and the launch follows that. The connection, which is now live, allows users to purchase and sell outcome-based bets on real-world events ranging from global politics and sports to cryptocurrency-driven market questions.
According to the company’s blog post, the integration is currently available on the most recent version of MetaMask Mobile. Users can use the app to select a market, top up their balance in seconds, and make predictions on politics, sports, cryptocurrency, culture, and world events.
Every trade reflects a monetary belief, which MetaMask claims produces a more accurate representation of public mood. The business notes that these markets frequently react faster than polls because users place actual value on their opinions.
According to MetaMask, the feature will launch as prediction markets acquire traction in practically every category people follow. Polymarket’s recent CFTC authorisation for a U.S. market debut has sparked renewed interest in regulated prediction platforms.
Metamask Expands Into A Trading Hub With Support For Multichain And Polymarket.
Polymarket has seen significant growth over the past year, initially gaining widespread attention in the run-up to the November 2024 US elections. President Trump’s backing of cryptocurrency and a softened regulatory outlook in the country have helped spur continued growth for the platform, which just received official approval to re-enter the United States.
Polymarket, founded in 2020, is apparently seeking a valuation of up to $15 billion, following the receipt of $2 billion in strategic capital from NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange at a $9 billion valuation.
In October, MetaMask introduced multichain accounts, a feature that allows users to manage both EVM and non-EVM addresses, including Solana. The wallet intends to incorporate a native MASK token as its parent company prepares for an upcoming IPO.
The update repositions MetaMask as a broader trading hub rather than a mere entry point for decentralised applications. The Polymarket integration broadens what users can accomplish without switching platforms.
According to the organisation, the combination of speed, rewards, and security is designed to attract both new and experienced mobile traders.
