Paribu Adds Hyperliquid Perpetuals and Polymarket to Its App

Paribu launched Hyperliquid onchain perpetuals and Polymarket option markets inside its main app on July 1, 2026, becoming the first regulated exchange to deliver both products through a centralized exchange interface. The Türkiye-based digital asset platform said users reach the new markets through a self-custodial DeFi section, using their existing balance, with no separate wallet, account, or seed phrase. Paribu also opened a waitlist for NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul stocks as its brokerage arm awaits an operating license from Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board. The full announcement is on Paribu’s full DeFi and equities announcement.

The launch lands against a domestic retail base the company ranks among the world’s most active. Türkiye recorded $40 billion in retail crypto trading volume in Q1 2026, growing 7% year over year while global retail volume fell 11%, figures Paribu attributes to TRM Labs. Most of that activity runs through a single app that users have not left to explore onchain products. The expansion is Paribu’s attempt to bring those products to that audience inside the login they already use, an approach Paribu flagged on its first Polymarket integration post dated July 1.

Hyperliquid Perpetuals and Polymarket Now Live in Paribu’s App

The DeFi tab inside Paribu now carries three product pillars, all reachable through the existing app login. Hyperliquid onchain perpetuals and Polymarket option markets are live today, and stocks on NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul sit behind a waitlist. Every position inside the DeFi tab stays self-custodial, with assets never moving into a Paribu-controlled wallet.

The setup carries one practical consequence for users. Paribu’s account credentials are not the same thing as a wallet key in this flow, so opening a position does not require a separate seed phrase or wallet app download, and the user’s existing Paribu balance funds the trade. Settlement still happens on Hyperliquid’s blockchain for perpetuals, and on Polymarket’s infrastructure for option markets, with the Paribu app sitting in front as the entry point. Each Polymarket contract is reviewed for integrity, liquidity, and risk before it appears. Positions, in every case, live in the user’s own wallet rather than in Paribu’s custody.

Paribu is becoming a single app for all of finance: crypto, DeFi, equities, and yield. Integrating Hyperliquid and Polymarket is another step toward that vision. Instead of asking users to navigate multiple wallets and protocols, we’re bringing a seamless in-app self-custodial DeFi experience to millions of people, making onchain perpetuals and prediction markets as accessible as the rest of their financial lives.

Yasin Oral, Founder and CEO of Paribu, in the company’s expansion press release.

The strategy is to meet Turkish users on the same login where they already manage their primary crypto holdings, an audience Paribu frames around the country’s standing in the global retail crypto ranking. Most of that volume is concentrated in a single-app setup, with the company pointing to a domestic user base that ranks fifth globally and trades on Paribu rather than spreading activity across multiple wallets. The brokerage waitlist is the only piece of the new product set not yet available to use.

Onchain Perpetuals, Served Through a Self-Custodial Tab

Perpetual contract trades now route through the DeFi tab of the existing Paribu app. Each order sends directly to Hyperliquid’s decentralized blockchain, with every position sitting in the user’s own self-custodial wallet at all times. Paribu is the interface layer; Hyperliquid supplies the matching engine and onchain liquidity behind it. The integration makes Hyperliquid reachable for users who would otherwise never download a wallet of their own. Until now, Turkish retail users running their primary crypto inside Paribu had no meaningful path to Hyperliquid at all, with the protocol’s order books gated behind a separate wallet setup.

Hyperliquid has processed more than $4 trillion in cumulative trading volume and leads the decentralized exchange market by open interest, Paribu said, citing the protocol’s own figures. The same builder program has paid more than $85 million to frontend developers that route users to Hyperliquid’s order books, a pluggable access pattern that sits at the heart of CZ’s take on Hyperliquid’s no-KYC model and the regulatory question it opens up.

Polymarket Lands in the Same Tab, Curated Contract by Contract

Polymarket prediction markets sit one tab over from perpetuals inside the same DeFi section. Paribu curates which contracts appear, reviewing each for integrity, liquidity, and risk profile before listing. Execution and settlement run on Polymarket’s infrastructure; the Paribu app serves only as the entry point.

Polymarket is the world’s largest decentralized option market, per the figures Paribu cited. The launch marks the first time option markets have been reachable for Türkiye’s retail base through a mainstream exchange interface, a configuration similar to the consumer-product prediction flow noted in Polymarket volume running at 90% on iPhone 18 Pro odds.

The self-custody flow uses passkey-based account abstraction, a feature that arrived in 2026 with Clave, a self-custodial finance app that joined Paribu that year. Users authenticate with a device passkey tied to their existing hardware rather than managing a 12- or 24-word seed phrase. Each DeFi position remains inside the user’s own wallet throughout the trade, so a Paribu account compromise does not translate into a wallet compromise.

Putting prediction markets and perpetuals behind a regulated exchange interface brings a different audience to those onchain products. Until now, Hyperliquid and Polymarket have reached users already running their own DeFi wallets. Paribu is aiming at the millions of Turkish retail users who manage their primary crypto holdings in a single app and have not had a reason to download a wallet of their own. The integration keeps that familiar login in place while routing trades onchain behind the Paribu front end.

Stocks Are Next; the Operating License Isn’t Here Yet

Paribu’s brokerage arm has received establishment authorization from Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board, but the operating license that would let users actually trade equities has not yet been granted. Until it is, NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul stocks sit behind a waitlist.

Real-time market data for all three venues is live in the app for free, Paribu said. The waitlist is open for any user who wants to be ready on day one of trading. The company framed the brokerage milestone as the fourth product pillar alongside crypto, DeFi, and yield.

The path from where Paribu stands today to live equity trading runs through a defined sequence of regulatory steps. Establishment authorization cleared the regulator’s review of Paribu’s broker setup. The operating license is a separate decision that the Capital Markets Board has yet to issue. Until the license lands, the waitlist is the only on-ramp users have.

• CMB establishment authorization: obtained
• Operating license from the Capital Markets Board: pending
• Real-time market data for NYSE, Nasdaq, Borsa Istanbul: live and free inside the app
• Waitlist: open to all users today

Türkiye’s $40B Quarter Drove the Timing

Türkiye ranks fifth globally in retail crypto activity, with $40 billion in trading volume in Q1 2026, according to TRM Labs. Turkish retail volume rose 7% year over year in a quarter when global retail volume fell 11%. Growth in a contracting global market, plus a heavily app-concentrated user base, is the structural case Paribu built the launch around.

Until now, that retail base had no meaningful access to onchain perpetuals or option markets inside the apps where they already hold their coins. Paribu is betting a self-custodial DeFi tab, opened in seconds with a passkey, can route that audience to Hyperliquid and Polymarket without forcing them to learn a wallet workflow. The stock pillar extends the same logic to a different asset class. Founder and CEO Yasin Oral described the strategy in the press release as building a single app for crypto, DeFi, equities, and yield. The next concrete test is whether the Capital Markets Board’s operating license decision preserves that breadth of products.

The Regulated Exchange Boundary Just Moved

Most regulated exchanges have stayed at arm’s length from products built on open blockchains. Perpetuals and prediction markets are tougher to fold into a compliance review than spot crypto, and most licensed venues have concluded the operational and legal cost is not worth it. Paribu has reached the opposite conclusion: regulated access to DeFi tools is itself a competitive differentiator in a market where most compliant platforms have stayed cautious.

Behind the launch sits nine years of operating history inside Türkiye’s regulatory perimeter, an overview of which is available on Paribu’s founder and company history page. Paribu was founded in 2017, supports 220+ crypto assets across the app, and runs a matching engine that processes 7.6 million orders per second. The platform has been adding regulated products and adjacent licenses in sequence. The December 2025 acquisition of CoinMENA, valued at up to $240 million, gave Paribu licensed operations in Dubai and Bahrain alongside its Turkish base.

Plumbing Hyperliquid perpetuals and Polymarket option markets into a CEX app is a configuration that has not existed before, so the regulatory reaction is also new ground. The combination of a stock pillar, a regulated permission boundary, and an onchain product surface is the bet Paribu is placing on the shape of Turkish retail finance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What new products did Paribu launch on July 1, 2026?

Paribu opened DEX trading, Hyperliquid onchain perpetuals, and Polymarket prediction markets inside the DeFi section of its main app. Each position stays in a self-custodial wallet, with users accessing the new tab through their existing Paribu balance.

Is stock trading live on Paribu yet?

No. Paribu opened a waitlist for trading in NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul stocks. Real-time market data for all three venues is live and free inside the app, but actual trading remains gated on an operating license from Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board that the brokerage arm has not yet received.

How does Paribu handle DeFi self-custody without seed phrases?

Passkey-based account abstraction, brought in by Clave, a self-custodial finance app that joined Paribu in 2026, lets users authenticate with a device passkey instead of a 12- or 24-word seed phrase. Paribu never takes custody of the user’s assets; positions sit on Hyperliquid and Polymarket’s infrastructure inside the user’s own wallet.

Why did Paribu pick Türkiye for this launch?

Türkiye ranks fifth globally in retail crypto activity, recorded $40 billion in Q1 2026 trading volume, and posted 7% year-over-year growth while global retail volume fell 11%, according to TRM Labs. That audience, large and still growing while the global market contracted, was the user base Paribu built the launch around.
