Perps and Prediction Markets Are Now Available in NOW Wallet

[PRESS RELEASE – Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, May 21st, 2026]

NOW Wallet, a non-custodial crypto wallet focused on security, multi-chain access, and seamless DeFi experience, now has direct access to perpetual futures and prediction markets built into the app. That means platforms like Hyperliquid, Aster, Lighter, GMX, and dYdX for perps trading, and Polymarket and PancakeSwap for prediction markets — all accessible without leaving the wallet.

Perps and prediction markets

Perpetual futures (“perps”) allow users to take positions on cryptocurrency price movements without holding the underlying asset. These instruments support features such as leverage, short positioning, and continuous trading, which have contributed to their widespread use in digital asset markets.

Prediction markets operate on a different model. Rather than tracking asset prices, they reflect the perceived likelihood of specific outcomes. Participants take positions on whether an event will occur, such as a cryptocurrency reaching a certain price level, a macroeconomic development, or other predefined scenarios. Market prices adjust as expectations change, and positions are resolved once the outcome is determined.

Both segments have expanded within decentralized finance (DeFi) in recent years.

Bring this into the wallet

Until now, accessing advanced DeFi trading tools meant a fragmented workflow — separate accounts on separate platforms, funds split across multiple places, constant switching between apps and browser tabs. It worked, but it wasn’t clean.

This update brings that access into one place. Users can connect to supported protocols directly through their wallet, fund trading balances, sign transactions, and manage positions — all while keeping self-custody of their assets. No centralised exchange accounts required.

The aim is straightforward: make on-chain trading more direct, less fragmented, and actually usable on mobile.

Part of a broader shift in crypto UX

Wallets started as storage tools. That’s changing. As more users engage with swaps, staking, trading, and prediction markets at the same time, the expectation has shifted — a wallet should be the access layer for all of it, not just a place to park funds between sessions.

Adding perps and prediction markets is part of that direction for NOW Wallet.
