The move follows rapid adoption in the sector, with Trust Wallet SMO noting, 'People shouldn’t need five apps to predict what happens next'

Trust Wallet is pushing prediction markets directly into the heart of its app, marking a shift in how users interact with real-world events on chain and reinforcing the wallet’s ambition to become far more than a place to simply store crypto.
The self-custody wallet has integrated Myriad as the first native prediction market inside its platform, allowing users to take Yes or No positions on real-world outcomes without leaving the app. The feature sits inside a new Predictions tab, giving Trust Wallet’s global user base a direct gateway into tokenized forecasting across politics, macro events, and sports.
Myriad, which launched on BNB Chain in late October, has already passed $100 million in cumulative trading volume after a tenfold increase over the past three months. The platform reports more than 400,000 active traders, 6.3 million trades and growing traction across Asia, with global expansion planned.
For Trust Wallet, the appeal is less about building a standalone trading product and more about turning the wallet itself into a portal for multiple on-chain activities. Sami Waittinen, Trust Wallet’s Chief Marketing Officer, said the decision to integrate prediction markets follows the same logic the wallet applies to swaps and earn products.
“We want to be a platform where we provide access to key, leading providers,” Waittinen told The Crypto Radio. “We use different providers for swaps and earn, and we have leveraged the same accessibility mindset with prediction markets.”
Myriad moved fastest to ship an in-wallet experience, making it the first partner, but Trust Wallet plans to add other major platforms, including Polymarket and Kalshi, over time. The aim is to gather multiple prediction markets in one place, allowing users to choose without jumping between apps, websites or chains.
Trust Wallet unveiled the feature days before Binance Blockchain Week, positioning the launch as a signal moment for prediction markets at a time when the sector is rapidly expanding. Rival integrations are already emerging across Ethereum and Solana, where wallets have begun embedding Polymarket access, but Trust Wallet is positioning itself as the first major web3 wallet to aggregate prediction markets natively in one app.
Prediction markets move from tools to signals
Waittinen framed the move as part of a longer-term shift in how wallets function in web3.
“We actually believe that it’s wallet era already,” he said. “Wallets like Trust Wallet will be replacing banks and exchanges in the future. It’s quite natural that we are building these utility cases and features inside the app.”
Prediction markets, he added, fit naturally alongside trading because they capture expectations about what happens next rather than just reacting to prices. Even users who choose not to place bets can use them as a signal.
“Even if you don’t want to participate on the actual predicting, you can see where the world is moving,” Waittinen said. “With US elections earlier, the web3 community on Polymarket was actually right. Prediction markets tell users where trading activity and crypto behavior is going in the future.”
The social element also plays a growing role. Trust Wallet already allows users to share performance data in perpetual futures trading, and similar sharing tools now exist inside prediction markets, where users can broadcast what they are predicting to their friends or communities.
“We see that social engagement is really where the future is going,” Waittinen said. “In prediction markets there is also a share feature, where you can actually share what you are predicting in.”
That social trajectory ties into a broader roadmap that includes payments and off-ramps. Trust Wallet plans to roll out a crypto card and payment solutions, allowing users to spend assets more easily in everyday life, while continuing to balance utility features with emerging social elements.
Why Trust Wallet sees forecasting as the next step
For newcomers, Waittinen frames prediction markets as one of the most accessible entry points into on-chain activity. Rather than choosing tokens or navigating complex trades, users are asked to make simple judgments about events they already follow.
“If you’re a football fan, you already have an idea about who is going to be champion,” he said. “It’s Yes or No options. Start carefully, start with limited funding. It’s one of the easiest ways to get started once you have assets in your wallet.”
On the technical side, Trust Wallet positions itself as a gateway rather than the operator of the markets themselves. The wallet performs due diligence on partners but relies on providers to enforce geographic restrictions and regulatory compliance.
“We operate basically like a browser,” Waittinen said. “We work with providers like Myriad, and Kalshi and Polymarket in the future. They have their own limitations on where products are accessible.”
That model becomes increasingly important as regulators scrutinize prediction markets and some jurisdictions question whether they constitute gambling. By surfacing only compliant markets region by region, Trust Wallet aims to offer global access without taking on regulatory risk directly.
Beyond wallets, prediction markets are also entering mainstream media. Kalshi’s recent partnership with media outlets CNN and CNBC will place real-time probability data alongside traditional news coverage – a development Waittinen sees as positive for the industry.
“It gives mainstream adoption and exposure for what web3 solutions and prediction markets are doing,” he said. “We are growing the market together.”
Looking ahead, Waittinen expects prediction markets to continue spreading beyond finance and politics into sports, culture, gaming, music and esports, particularly among younger audiences.
“I think sports will stay a big natural part,” he said. “Then culture, pop culture, gaming, esports, maybe even music. From there it just takes over the rest.”
For Trust Wallet, integrating Myriad is less about making headlines and more about redefining what a wallet is meant to be – a place not just to hold assets, but to participate in and interpret the future as it unfolds on chain.
