At Token 2049 in Singapore, MetaMask rolled out the towel (the universal symbol for “we’re about to change your life, or at least your balance sheet”) and offered a backstage pass to a feature that could turn wallet time into trading time. The Ethereum app, which already has more fans than a Vogon poetry reading, is tinkering with an in-wallet perpetual futures trading platform. Don’t panic; the towels are still dry, and so are your assets-for now.
The demo was shown to VIP attendees and gave a glimpse of how the wallet might handle leveraged trading in the future. It was the kind of preview that makes you wonder if your portfolio is about to embark on a space expedition or merely a very ambitious scavenger hunt for yield.
Hyperliquid, rewards, and the polite way to gamble safely
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. It’s like installing a tiny casino inside your phone, except the chips are digital and the house is apparently your own risk tolerance. 🚀
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. Think loyalty points, but for people who count their breaths in pips. 🏷️🎯
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. If calendars existed for probabilities, you’d mark this as “maybe, but with a good chance of happening.”
This marks a shift for MetaMask. The wallet has mainly been a place to store and send 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. It’s a bit like convincing a teleportation device to double as a coffee machine: convenient, possibly confusing, and bound to improve morale when you least expect it. ☕🚪
