NOW Wallet Integrates Perpetual Futures and Prediction Markets
Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, May 21st, 2026 – NOW Wallet, a non-custodial crypto wallet focused on security, multi-chain access, and a seamless DeFi experience, has integrated direct access to perpetual futures and prediction markets within its app. This integration provides users with direct access to platforms such as Hyperliquid, Aster, Lighter, GMX, and dYdX for perpetuals trading, and Polymarket and PancakeSwap for prediction markets, all without leaving the wallet.
Perpetual Futures and Prediction Markets Explained
Perpetual futures (“perps”) enable users to speculate on cryptocurrency price movements without owning the underlying asset. These instruments offer features like leverage, short selling, and continuous trading, contributing to their popularity in digital asset markets.
Prediction markets operate differently, reflecting the perceived likelihood of specific outcomes rather than tracking asset prices. Participants bet on whether an event will occur, such as a cryptocurrency reaching a certain price level or a macroeconomic development. Market prices adjust based on changing expectations, and positions are settled once the outcome is determined.
Both perpetual futures and prediction markets have experienced significant growth within decentralized finance (DeFi) in recent years.
Streamlined In-Wallet Access
Previously, accessing advanced DeFi trading tools required a fragmented workflow, involving separate accounts on different platforms, funds spread across multiple locations, and constant switching between apps and browser tabs.
This update consolidates access within the NOW Wallet. Users can now connect to supported protocols directly through their wallet, fund trading balances, sign transactions, and manage positions, all while maintaining self-custody of their assets. Centralized exchange accounts are no longer required.
The goal is to make on-chain trading more direct, less fragmented, and more user-friendly on mobile devices.
Part of a Broader UX Shift
Wallets are evolving beyond simple storage tools. As users increasingly engage with swaps, staking, trading, and prediction markets simultaneously, the expectation has shifted. A wallet should serve as the primary access point for all these activities, not just a place to store funds.
The addition of perpetual futures and prediction markets is a step in this direction for NOW Wallet.
