MetaMask Brings Polymarket Trading Straight Into the Wallet

What Does MetaMask’s Integration With Polymarket Add?

MetaMask has added Polymarket directly into its mobile app, according to a Consensys blog post, opening the door for users to trade on real-world outcomes without leaving their wallet. “You can now trade on the future outcome of real world events inside your wallet,” Consensys’ Gabriela Helfet wrote. “You’ll also earn MetaMask Rewards points with every prediction you make.”

The integration expands MetaMask’s growing set of in-app features. Users can fund Polymarket activity using “any token on any EVM chain” through what Consensys describes as “one tap funding.” The wallet already serves as the primary access point for millions of ETH users, and this update brings a new category of speculation directly into the interface.

Why Is MetaMask Expanding Into Prediction Markets Now?

Polymarket has pulled in a new wave of users over the past year, assisted by its role during the U.S. election cycle and a friendlier policy mood toward . President during the 2024 campaign and a more open regulatory climate paved the way for the platform to regain approval to operate in the country.

Founded in 2020, Polymarket is now reportedly targeting a valuation of up to $15 billion. It recently secured $2 billion in , the owner of the NYSE, at a $9 billion valuation. Those numbers place it among the quickest-growing prediction platforms on record.

For MetaMask, the timing aligns with its broader push to add more transaction types inside the wallet. Prediction markets offer high engagement, frequent trading and event-driven activity — features that fit naturally into MetaMask’s Rewards program, which may feed into an eventual MASK token airdrop. The more actions users take inside the wallet, the more points they earn.

How Does the Integration Fit Into MetaMask’s Multichain Strategy?

In October, MetaMask launched multichain accounts, allowing users to manage both EVM and non-EVM addresses in one interface, including Solana. The update marked one of the largegest architectural changes to the wallet in years and laid the groundwork for cross-ecosystem features.

The Polymarket integration builds on that shift. With “one tap funding,” users can move liquidity from various chains into Polymarket without dealing with manual swaps or bridges. For a prediction market, where traders often reposition rapidly as news breaks, reducing friction is key.

The wallet is also preparing to introduce a native MASK token. Consensys has not announced details publicly, but reports of a planned IPO have raised expectations that MetaMask may use a token to lock in users before entering public markets. Reward points earned through Polymarket predictions may become part of that path, though MetaMask has not confirmed which actions will qualify.

Where Does This Leave the Prediction Market Landscape?

Polymarket’s rise has revived interest in on-chain predictions, a category that struggled for years under restrictive rules and low liquidity. With fresh regulatory clearance in the U.S., the market is expanding again. Platforms are now testing integrations that place predictions alongside everyday wallet actions such as swaps, staking and cross-chain transfers.

MetaMask’s move suggests prediction markets are no longer separate tools but part of a larger wallet ecosystem. The integration gives Polymarket an extra funnel of users while giving MetaMask a high-engagement vertical that can tie into an upcoming token and its revenue model.

The trend also reflects a shift in how users interact with Web3: instead of browsing from one dApp to another, activity is consolidating inside wallet environments. MetaMask is positioning itself to be the main hub for that behaviour.

As MetaMask builds toward a MASK token and a possible IPO, features that keep users active inside the app are becoming central to its strategy. Prediction markets offer that kind of repeat engagement. For Polymarket, entering the wallet layer gives it distribution few Web3 projects can match.
