Trust Wallet launched a native “Predictions” feature that brings on‑chain prediction markets directly into its app for some 220 million users. The integration embeds event-based YES/NO markets inside the wallet and signals a strategic push to convert passive custody into active trading inside a single interface.
The Predictions tab, accessible from Trust Wallet’s Swaps page, lists curated markets where users place binary bets on real‑world outcomes using existing crypto holdings. Trades are settled by smart contracts and resolved via decentralized oracles, with stablecoins such as USDC commonly used as collateral. Trust Wallet CEO Eowyn Chen highlighted the product’s speed, saying positions can be entered and exited “in and out in one second,” underscoring the emphasis on low latency and a frictionless experience.
The initial technical stack routes liquidity to a Myriad‑powered system operating on the BNB Chain, chosen for comparatively lower transaction costs. The Trust Wallet Token (TWT), a BEP‑20 utility token, is positioned to play a role in user incentives inside the new flow.
Market positioning, partnerships, and risks for Trust Wallet
Trust Wallet’s launch is built around a partnership with Myriad, which has surpassed $100 million in cumulative trading volume, and the wallet intends to aggregate markets from multiple platforms inside the app. Farokh Sarmad, president of Myriad, said the integration makes “on‑chain predictions accessible in a way the industry has never seen before,” framing the move as accessibility‑driven aggregation rather than a single‑protocol play.
The product enters a crowded field with established platforms and evolving wallet providers. Polymarket and Kalshi remain headline competitors in prediction liquidity, while other wallets — notably MetaMask and Phantom — are adding on‑chain financial features such as staking and in‑wallet derivatives. Industry reporting also points to notable historical performance from incumbents: Polymarket, for example, is cited for high‑accuracy market calls during the 2024 U.S. presidential cycle, illustrating why wallet integration could reallocate user flow toward native experiences.
The integration immediately raises regulatory and security questions. U.S. regulators, including the SEC and CFTC, are attentive to the legal classification of prediction markets and related instruments, implying Trust Wallet will need geographic restrictions and compliance controls. Embedding active trading inside a self‑custody wallet also enlarges the attack surface and operational complexity of what many users expect to be a secure storage tool.
Trust Wallet’s native Predictions feature reframes the wallet as an integrated trading hub and escalates competition between protocols and wallet providers.
