Turkish cryptocurrency exchange Paribu is broadening its financial services by integrating decentralized finance (DeFi) directly into its main mobile app. The latest update gives users access to decentralized exchanges (DEXs), Hyperliquid perpetual futures, and Polymarket prediction markets, while also opening a waitlist for future stock trading.
The move reflects Paribu’s ambition to transform its platform into an all-in-one financial application that combines crypto, DeFi, traditional equities, and yield products under a single interface.
DeFi trading now available inside the Paribu app
Paribu announced that users can now access a dedicated DeFi section without downloading additional wallet applications or creating new accounts.
Unlike traditional DeFi platforms that require browser wallets, seed phrases, and manual token transfers, Paribu allows customers to use their existing account balances while maintaining self-custody of their on-chain assets.
According to the company, every transaction settles directly on blockchain networks, while users retain ownership of their positions through integrated self-custodial wallets.
Paribu says it is the first regulated cryptocurrency exchange to offer both Hyperliquid perpetual trading and Polymarket prediction markets through a centralized exchange interface.
Designed for Türkiye’s growing crypto community
The company believes the new feature addresses the needs of Türkiye’s rapidly expanding retail crypto market.
Citing data from TRM Labs, Paribu noted that Türkiye ranked as the world’s fifth-largest retail cryptocurrency market during the first quarter of 2026, generating approximately $40 billion in trading volume.
While global retail crypto activity declined by around 11%, Türkiye recorded 7% year-over-year growth, highlighting continued demand from local investors.
Paribu says many Turkish users prefer keeping their assets within a single application rather than managing separate DeFi wallets. To simplify onboarding, the platform uses passkey authentication and recovery tools instead of traditional seed phrases.
Hyperliquid perpetuals arrive on Paribu
One of the biggest additions is direct access to Hyperliquid’s decentralized perpetual futures market.
Users can now trade perpetual contracts directly from the app while orders execute on Hyperliquid’s blockchain infrastructure. Although trading takes place through Paribu’s interface, positions remain stored in users’ self-custodial wallets.
Hyperliquid has become one of the fastest-growing decentralized derivatives platforms, processing more than $4 trillion in cumulative trading volume.
Its ecosystem has continued expanding in recent months with new regulated futures products and validator-settled outcome markets.
Polymarket prediction markets also join the platform
Paribu has also integrated Polymarket, allowing users to participate in blockchain-based prediction markets directly within the same DeFi section.
Rather than listing every available market, Paribu says it will offer a curated selection of prediction contracts that meet internal standards for liquidity, integrity, and risk management.
While Paribu provides the trading interface, all executions and settlements occur on-chain through Polymarket’s decentralized infrastructure.
The integration comes as prediction markets receive increasing regulatory attention worldwide, particularly from U.S. regulators evaluating the future oversight of platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi.
Stock trading is the next step
Beyond crypto and DeFi, Paribu is preparing to enter the traditional investment market.
The company’s brokerage division has already received establishment approval from Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board and is currently awaiting its operating license before launching stock trading services.
Once approved, users will be able to trade shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul directly through the app.
For now, investors can access real-time market data for both U.S. and Turkish equities, while interested users can join the newly launched stock trading waitlist.
Building a single platform for modern investing
Paribu founder and CEO Yasin Oral says the company’s long-term vision is to eliminate the need for multiple financial apps.
Instead of separating cryptocurrency, decentralized finance, prediction markets, and traditional investments across different platforms, Paribu aims to bring them together into one integrated ecosystem.
The latest expansion follows the company’s broader growth strategy, including its acquisition of CoinMENA and the integration of Clave’s passkey-based self-custody technology, further strengthening its focus on simplifying blockchain access for mainstream users.
As digital assets continue to merge with traditional finance, Paribu’s latest rollout signals a growing trend toward unified investment platforms that combine both decentralized and conventional financial services.
