MetaMask is breaking out of its role as a simple crypto wallet, unveiling new features that move it closer to becoming a decentralized trading powerhouse.
The company has launched perpetual futures trading, a MetaMask Rewards program, and an upcoming integration with Polymarket’s prediction markets – all part of a broader transformation ahead of the anticipated MASK token debut.
Trading Comes to MetaMask
In partnership with Hyperliquid, MetaMask now enables users to trade perpetual contracts directly within their wallets. The feature supports instant funding from any EVM-compatible chain and removes swap fees, giving traders a seamless experience without relying on centralized exchanges.
MetaMask said this step aligns with the growing appetite for decentralized derivatives, with perpetual DEX volume surpassing $760 billion in August 2025. “We’re giving people true ownership over how they trade and invest,” said Gal Eldar, Global Product Lead at MetaMask.
Later this year, MetaMask plans to integrate prediction markets through a collaboration with Polymarket, allowing users to wager on real-world events like elections, sports, and economic outcomes directly through the app. The move follows confirmation that Consensys is preparing the launch of the long-awaited MASK token, which will tie into MetaMask’s growing ecosystem.
A New Rewards System
Alongside trading, the platform is rolling out MetaMask Rewards – a three-month seasonal points program offering perks such as LINEA token allocations, fee discounts, boosted points, and even a free MetaMask Metal Card. Users can earn points through trading, referrals, or holding mUSD stablecoin.
Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin described these developments as the next step in MetaMask’s evolution from a gateway to Web3 into a complete on-chain financial hub. With perpetuals live, rewards launching, and prediction markets on the horizon, MetaMask is shaping itself into a one-stop DeFi ecosystem – where users can trade, earn, and speculate without ever leaving their wallets.
