Paribu went live with Hyperliquid and Polymarket integration on July 1, 2026, adding onchain perpetuals, prediction markets, and DEX token swaps inside a dedicated DeFi section of its existing app. Based on the source material, Paribu is the first regulated centralized exchange to offer both Hyperliquid onchain perpetuals and Polymarket prediction markets directly through a CEX interface, without requiring users to install a separate wallet application. One account and the same balance are used across the experience.
The rollout combines three product lines inside one interface. The first is DEX trading, allowing users to swap tokens across decentralized exchanges from within Paribu. The second is Hyperliquid onchain perpetuals, which let traders take leveraged exposure to crypto price moves with execution happening on Hyperliquid’s blockchain instead of inside a centralized order book. The third is Polymarket prediction markets, where contracts are tied to real-world outcomes such as election results, economic data releases, and geopolitical events.
Self-custodial positions remain onchain
Paribu said every position across the three DeFi products is fully self-custodial. Assets remain in the user’s own wallet at all times, with no seed phrase handoff and no custody transfer, while the exchange serves as the interface layer. For Polymarket, execution and settlement take place onchain through Polymarket’s own infrastructure. Paribu also said it screens listed contracts for integrity, liquidity depth, and risk profile before making them available in the app.
CEO Yasin Oral described the strategy as building a single app spanning crypto, DeFi, equities, and yield products, with the goal of letting users access a self-custodial DeFi experience without moving across multiple wallets and protocols.
Launch targets one of the busiest retail crypto markets
The integration arrives in a market with heavy retail crypto participation. Citing TRM Labs data published in April 2026, the source says Türkiye ranks fifth globally in retail crypto activity and recorded $40 billion in crypto volume in Q1 2026. That figure was up 7% year over year, while global crypto volume declined 11% over the same period. The report links that resilience to persistent inflation concerns and continued demand for assets outside the lira.
Until now, that retail base had little meaningful access to onchain perpetuals or prediction markets. Hyperliquid has already processed more than $4 trillion in cumulative trading volume, leads decentralized exchanges by open interest, and has distributed more than $85 million in revenue to frontend developers through its builder program. On the prediction side, the source says Polymarket and Kalshi together recorded $130 billion in trading volume in 2026.
Equities remain part of Paribu’s next step
Paribu’s roadmap extends beyond the current DeFi launch. Its brokerage arm has received establishment authorization from Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board and is still waiting for an operating license that would allow trading in stocks listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul inside the same app. The source also says real-time market data for all three exchanges is already available free to users, and a waitlist has opened ahead of any stock-trading launch.
From the public information cited in the source, the next points to watch are straightforward: how soon the stock-trading operating license follows the establishment authorization, whether other regulated exchanges in the CIS and MENA regions adopt a similar DeFi integration model, and how Polymarket’s user base changes after gaining access to Turkish retail participants through a regulated gateway.
