MetaMask moves into prediction markets with Polymarket integration

The largest Ethereum wallet MetaMask is moving into the prediction market sector with an integration with Polymarket.

"You can now trade on the future outcome of real world events inside your wallet," Consensys' Gabriela Helfet wrote in a recent blog. "You’ll also earn MetaMask Rewards points with every prediction you make."

In addition to adding a new access point for Polymarket, the integration will enable users to fund their accounts using "any token on any EVM chain" via "one tap funding."

Polymarket has seen massive growth over the past year since first receiving mainstream exposure during the runup to the U.S. elections in November 2024. President Trump’s embrace of crypto and a softening regulatory outlook in the country helped foster continued growth for the platform, which recently received official approval to re-enter the U.S.

Founded in 2020, Polymarket is now reportedly courting a valuation of up to $15 billion, on the heels of receiving $2 billion in strategic funding from NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange at a $9 billion valuation.

In October, MetaMask launched multichain accounts, a feature that allows users to manage both EVM and non-EVM addresses, including on Solana. The wallet is planning to integrate a native MASK token, as its parent firm reportedly plans for an upcoming IPO.
