MetaMask targets betting markets by integrating Polymarket

MetaMask no longer wants to stay in the shadow of simple crypto wallets. Gone is the status of a wallet confined to Ethereum. The app intends to establish itself as a complete decentralized finance platform. The latest turn: an alliance with Polymarket, to open predictive markets to crypto bettors worldwide. Goal: allow everyone to speculate on current events, sports, elections… all without leaving the decentralized world.

When predictive finance meets MetaMask: a bet with high potential

The prediction markets keep gaining popularity in the crypto ecosystem. With its partnership with Polymarket, MetaMask intends to ride this wave. Users will be able to bet on real events : politics, sports, economic results… The feature will not be available in several regions like the United States, France, or Singapore, but that does not curb the project’s global ambition.

Polymarket is no longer an outsider: in September, the platform recorded 1.43 billion dollars in trading volume, matching Kalshi . A strong signal validated by finance giants: Intercontinental Exchange, parent company of the NYSE, invested 2 billion dollars into Polymarket, boosting its valuation to 9 billion.

MetaMask, through this partnership, asserts its desire to become a “super-app” of on-chain finance. Gal Eldar, its product manager, explains it as follows:

Each new feature broadens what users can do with their financial assets: trade, earn, invest, speculate, and diversify, while maintaining full control of their personal custody.

This turn highlights a strong trend: decentralization is no longer limited to token exchanges. It becomes a tool to capture real-world signals and monetize collective intuitions.

From speculation to rewards: MetaMask strengthens its presence in the crypto sphere

MetaMask’s strategy does not stop at predictive markets. In parallel, the wallet has integrated Hyperliquid, a decentralized platform specializing in perpetual futures. These financial products, with no expiration date, allow crypto bettors to wager on price fluctuations. Result: over 770 billion dollars traded in one month, proof that demand exists.

To enhance its attractiveness, MetaMask is also launching a points program . Users earn rewards based on their trades, referrals, and payments with the MetaMask Metal card. One of the first benefits? 30 million dollars in Linea tokens, an L2 developed by Consensys, will be distributed as a bonus.

Finally, MetaMask is joining Stocktwits, a social trading platform. Goal: to display live predictions in discussion threads, enriching exchanges among retail investors.

Key figures and announcements to remember

• 2 billion $: amount of ICE’s investment in Polymarket;
• 9 billion $: current valuation of Polymarket;
• 770 billion $: monthly volume of decentralized futures;
• 30 million $: initial value of MetaMask’s rewards program;
• +10 regions excluded from Polymarket integration, including France and the United States.

MetaMask is no longer just a wallet, but a bridge between crypto finance and real events. This repositioning could redefine its role in the ecosystem.

Attention now turns to MetaMask’s ultimate card: its token . Joe Lubin, CEO of Consensys, mentioned an imminent launch. Yet analysts estimate a 46% chance it will see the light before November 2025. So, the bets are still open.
