At Token 2049 in Singapore, MetaMask gave a first look at a new feature coming to its wallet. The Ethereum app, which already has over 100 million users, is working on an in-app perpetual futures trading platform.
The demo was shown to VIP attendees and gave a glimpse of how the wallet might handle leveraged trading in the future.
Integration with Hyperliquid and rewards
The feature is built with Hyperliquid. Users will be able to deposit USDC and trade assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and HYPE with leverage up to 35x, all without leaving the wallet. It has live charts and trade management tools, so users can watch their positions in real time.
MetaMask is also adding a rewards system where you earn points by trading and using the app, which can unlock badges, levels, and seasonal rewards, making trading more fun.
The DEX isn’t live yet. The event was an early, exclusive preview. Posts on X, including one from Yellow Panther, highlighted that the in-wallet DEX and rewards system could be coming soon, likely in Q4.
This marks a shift for MetaMask. The wallet has mainly been for storing and sending crypto, but now it’s moving toward letting people trade directly inside the app. Combining leveraged trading with a rewards system may alter how users interact with MetaMask and conduct trades once the feature is launched.
