MetaMask Integrates Polymarket: One-Tap to Prediction Markets

MetaMask officially confirms the integration of the prediction market platform Polymarket directly into its wallet, allowing millions of users to bet on the outcome of real-world events without ever leaving the application.

“One-Tap” Revolution

Consensys, MetaMask’s parent company, designed this feature around convenience and incentives. They commit to offering MetaMask Rewards for users following every successful prediction. However, the biggest breakthrough lies in the “one-tap funding” feature, resolving one of DeFi’s major hurdles: the complexity of asset funding.

The system supports funding Polymarket bets using any token across every EVM chain. MetaMask automatically manages the complex background steps, including bridging and token swapping. New users need only one tap to participate in prediction markets, completely eliminating the need for them to understand complex multi-chain infrastructure.

Gal Eldar, Global Product Lead at MetaMask, said that MetaMask had built its platform to give people true ownership of their assets. He added that they were now extending that same principle to the world’s most important markets, giving people access without ever giving up custody.

Polymarket Targets a $15 Billion Valuation

MetaMask integrates Polymarket right as the platform experiences explosive growth, fueled by the late-2024 U.S. election cycle and high-level politicians adopting increasingly crypto-friendly positions.

Adding to this momentum, Polymarket recently secured official regulatory approval to re-enter the U.S. market, marking a major milestone for DeFi. The platform now pursues a $15 billion valuation, following a $2 billion investment from ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

ICE’s backing, coming from such a massive traditional financial institution, strongly validates Wall Street’s confidence in the legitimacy and future potential of decentralized prediction markets.

MetaMask’s Expansion Strategy

Beyond the Polymarket integration, MetaMask is rapidly transforming into an all-in-one, self-custodial trading hub through major feature launches.

To incentivize users, the new seasonal MetaMask Rewards program gives points for trading, swapping, and using the upcoming MetaMask Card. Rewards include over $30 million USD in LINEA token allocations.

Furthermore, MetaMask now also offers native Perpetual Futures (Perps) trading, powered by Hyperliquid. Addressing the 75% market share previously dominated by centralized exchanges, MetaMask delivers pro-grade derivatives with zero swap fees and one-click EVM funding under full self-custody.

These developments redefine MetaMask as the gateway to democratized finance, expanding user utility while preserving full asset ownership.
