Crypto Wallet MetaMask is integrating crypto prediction platform Polymarket into its Mobile app, according to a Thursday announcement. MetaMask Prediction Markets will be powered by Polymarket, and are officially available now on the MetaMask app.
The integration was first teased in a MetaMask blog post on Oct. 8, which unveiled in-app perpetual futures and an upcoming rewards program. MetaMask is the first self-custodial crypto wallet to offer prediction market access. MetaMask’s Prediction Markets allow users to trade on predictions on what will happen next in various events. You can buy or sell positions on markets across sports, politics, and, of course, crypto.
In late November, Polymarket received CFTC approval to operate fully as an exchange for US retail users and brokerages. It has been making significant moves since its return to the US a few months ago, with the latest bringing it in tune with MetaMask, one of the most popular crypto wallet platforms out there. The prediction platform was previously kicked offshore and paid a $1.4 million penalty in 2022 to settle allegations of illegal trading with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
