MetaMask Expands Trading Options with 173 New Tokenized Stocks and ETFs

MetaMask has introduced **real-time $BTC movement prediction markets** directly within its wallet interface. Users can now: - Predict Bitcoin price movements in real-time - Place positions on whether BTC will go up ⬆️ or down ⬇️ - Trade without additional signups or platform switches This follows their recent launch of **5-minute prediction markets** for both $BTC and $ETH, where users predict price movements within 300-second windows. The feature is described as similar to perpetual futures trading, but **without liquidation risks**. The prediction markets are powered by Polymarket and build on MetaMask's earlier integration of live sports prediction markets. *Note: Prediction markets are unavailable in certain regions. Trading predictions may result in total loss of capital.* [Learn more about MetaMask Prediction Markets](https://metamask.io)

MetaMask has activated address poisoning protection on both mobile and extension versions across all networks. **How it works:** - The wallet now detects lookalike addresses that share identical first and last characters but differ in the middle - Users receive a warning before completing transactions to suspicious addresses - This protection helps prevent a common scam where attackers insert similar-looking wallet addresses into transaction histories **What is address poisoning?** Scammers create wallet addresses that closely resemble legitimate ones, hoping users will accidentally copy and send funds to the wrong address when reviewing their transaction history. The feature is now active for all MetaMask users without requiring any manual setup or updates.
