- MetaMask integrates Hyperliquid to enable seamless perpetual trading directly within its mobile wallet.
- Users can access perps with USDC deposits, featuring streamlined execution and real-time transaction updates.
MetaMask has officially opened access to perpetual contract (perps) trading directly from its mobile app, powered by the Hyperliquid engine.
This news marks a major shift in how traders interact with decentralized derivative products, as for the first time, users can open or close positions without having to switch to another platform.
The introduction of this feature is not just a small addition, but a step that demonstrates how MetaMask is expanding its role from being a digital asset wallet to becoming a primary gateway for on-chain financial activity.

Hyperliquid is known as one of the largest players in the decentralized perps trading space. Its transaction volume, reaching hundreds of billions of US dollars each month, makes the platform a magnet for global traders.
Integrating with MetaMask is seen as a smart strategy, as MetaMask has a vast user base worldwide. This collaboration opens up greater opportunities for Hyperliquid to expand its reach, while MetaMask gains added value in the form of more comprehensive features for its community.
MetaMask Moves Closer to Full Perps Integration
However, the launch of this perps feature still leaves a number of questions. Some reports suggest some users have already tried it, while others believe the integration is still in the testing phase.
Leaked code reveals a new tab titled “Perps” in the MetaMask app, including a USDC deposit option and real-time transaction fee information. While it’s unclear whether this feature is already available globally, visible signs indicate that MetaMask is serious about developing the derivatives market.
On the other hand, CNF also reported a few days ago that MetaMask plans to launch a new feature called “Ways to Earn.” This system is based on points linked to trading activity.
Uniquely, every transaction on the LINEA network will count double, indicating MetaMask’s strategy to encourage deeper engagement in its ecosystem. In other words, beyond simply providing access to perps trading, MetaMask is also preparing additional incentives to encourage users to be more active in their transactions.
Furthermore, this development is not isolated. Last June, MetaMask already strengthened its infrastructure by integrating OKX’s DEX API. This integration allows for faster token exchanges, with a lower risk of price slippage across over 500 DEXs across 25 networks.
Furthermore, MEV protection through Servo has also been enabled, making MetaMask the first third-party wallet to offer this kind of protection thanks to its partnership with OKX. So, over the past year, MetaMask has become increasingly aggressive in adding layers of functionality to enhance both user convenience and security.
Risks and Expectations Behind Perps Trading
While it sounds promising, perps trading always carries its own risks. This product is synonymous with the use of leverage, meaning the potential for large profits can be substantial, but the potential for losses can also come more quickly.
The risk of liquidation cannot be ignored, especially in the notoriously volatile crypto market. With direct wallet integration, new challenges arise, ranging from potential technical bugs to security issues.
However, for the crypto community, this move is still welcomed as a breakthrough. Furthermore, for traders seeking speed and convenience, direct access to perps from MetaMask mobile significantly reduces the barrier to entry.
