MetaMask to Integrate Perpetual Futures Trading via Hyperliquid, Code Leak Reveals
MetaMask is poised to introduce perpetual futures trading directly within its wallet interface through a partnership with Hyperliquid, according to code leaks discovered on social media. The leaked GitHub updates reveal a new "Perps" tab and USDC deposit flows, signaling a move to bring Leveraged trading—typically the domain of centralized exchanges—into the decentralized wallet experience.
Hyperliquid, a rising star in derivatives trading, has seen its monthly volume surge to $383 billion with $106 million in revenue in August alone. The platform's annualized revenue now tops $1.16 billion, with perpetuals trading volume exceeding $2.5 trillion. This integration could position MetaMask as a one-stop shop for both spot and derivatives trading.
While no official launch date has been announced, developer comments suggest a rollout within weeks. Industry watchers speculate the feature may debut during Token2049 in Singapore, where Hyperliquid is hosting an event. The code includes sophisticated trading features like minimum deposit thresholds, gas fee previews, and real-time settlement tracking—all accessible without leaving the MetaMask ecosystem.
