MetaMask Officially Launches Perpetual Trading on Mobile

MetaMask has officially launched perpetual trading on its mobile app, as it progresses on the quest to become a full-featured trading platform. 

Notably, the recent release follows weeks of anticipation after activity on MetaMask’s public GitHub indicated that the feature was nearing completion.

MetaMask Launches Perpetual Trading 

According to a press release today, the new feature, MetaMask Perps, lets users trade perpetual futures directly from their mobile devices. Specifically, it runs on Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange known for its reliable derivatives market. 

Four Attractive Features

The company noted that it designed the new feature around four main advantages. First, it focuses on speed, allowing trades to execute almost instantly so users can react quickly to price changes. Some traders highlighted the need for this a few weeks back when hints of a launch emerged.

Second, MetaMask stressed that the feature ensures complete control. Specifically, traders keep full custody of their funds and can set limit orders, stop losses, and take-profit levels directly in the app. 

Meanwhile, it offers simple funding, as users can deposit any EVM-compatible token, which automatically converts to USDC for trading, with no bridges or extra fees involved. Finally, they will provide real-time insights, including live price charts, performance tracking, and push notifications for major market updates.

To start trading, users would only need to update their MetaMask mobile app to version 7.56 or higher on Android or iOS. After the update, they can access the new “Perps” tab from the home screen, deposit funds, choose a token, and begin trading directly on mobile.

The feature’s launch follows several months of development and testing. According to a previous report from The Crypto Basic, work began in July 2025, as shown in the project’s GitHub repositories, and picked up pace through late summer. 

Early testers reported issues with deposits, delayed token loading, and minor calculation errors, which MetaMask developers fixed during August and September. These updates set the stage for this official release.

MetaMask’s Push for Growth

Notably, this launch is part of a larger wave of new products and features from MetaMask in recent months. On Oct. 4, the company announced a major on-chain rewards program that will distribute over $30 million worth of Linea tokens to its global user community during its first reward season.

MetaMask also expanded its ecosystem earlier this year with several notable releases. On July 22, it introduced the MetaMask Card, a Mastercard-powered debit card that lets users spend crypto at retail outlets and earn 1% cashback in USDC. 

In August, MetaMask launched mUSD, its own stablecoin backed by M0 and Stripe’s Bridge. A few weeks later, on Sept. 18, Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin confirmed that the long-awaited $MASK token would launch sooner than expected, with a possible airdrop for active users.
