NOW Wallet, a non-custodial multi-chain wallet supporting over 70 blockchain networks, has integrated direct access to perpetual futures and prediction markets directly within its app. This upgrade removes the need for separate accounts on external platforms by enabling users to trade perps and prediction positions while retaining full self-custody of their assets.
Users can now connect to leading DeFi protocols from the wallet interface. For perpetual contracts, the supported platforms include Hyperliquid, Aster, Lighter, GMX, and dYdX. For prediction markets, Polymarket and PancakeSwap are available. Perps allow leveraged long or short positions on crypto prices without holding the underlying asset, while prediction markets let users bet on the probability of real-world outcomes, from macro events to specific price targets.
The move addresses the fragmented user experience that has long burdened DeFi traders. Previously, accessing these tools required juggling multiple browser tabs or apps and spreading funds across several addresses. NOW Wallet’s update consolidates funding, signing, and position management into a single mobile experience, making on-chain trading more seamless. The feature is available now in the latest version of the wallet.
This release reflects a broader shift in crypto UX, where wallets evolve from passive storage tools into comprehensive hubs for swaps, staking, trading, and prediction markets. By lowering the friction of DeFi engagement, NOW Wallet aims to attract both experienced and new users to decentralized finance.
