MetaMask announced that pre-IPO perpetuals for OURA are live for trading in the wallet's perps product. OURA is the ticker for Oura Health, the smart-ring maker that has publicly filed for a Nasdaq IPO looking to raise up to $2.2 billion.

• The perps give traders synthetic, leveraged exposure to Oura's implied valuation before the stock actually lists — without holding any equity.
• MetaMask shared the news in a social post directing users to the trading link.
• It follows previous pre-IPO perps listings on MetaMask (e.g., SpaceX) as part of the wallet's broader push into perpetual trading. Trading happens via MetaMask Perps, powered by Hyperliquid.

MetaMask has introduced what it calls the first self-custody wallet protection against red pill attacks — a scam where a transaction looks safe in the preview but drains the wallet after signing. The new "Added Protection" feature simulates the transaction first, then locks in that result; if the actual outcome doesn't match, the transaction automatically reverts and funds stay put.

• The feature supports EVM networks to start, and is live on the MetaMask Extension with Mobile support to follow.
• MetaMask says this "what you see is what happens" guarantee addresses scams that bypass technical wallet security at the final signing step.

MetaMask outlined the security stack behind its Agent Wallet, listing capabilities that run from transaction simulation and threat scanning to MEV protection, guard and beast modes, and daily spend limits. The wallet also advertises allowlisted protocols, a user risk profile, onchain-enforced guardrails, 2FA approvals and self-custody ahead of an actual transaction.

• MetaMask positions the tool as a response to the surge in social-engineering crypto thefts that bypass technical wallet security.

Consensys Software Inc., the company that built MetaMask, is renaming itself MetaMask and operating as an independent company focused entirely on the consumer platform. The protocols and institutional infrastructure businesses, including Linea, are being separated out as part of the move.

MetaMask says nothing changes for existing users today — the app, assets, keys and access remain unchanged and no action is required. The company frames its focus as evolving "beyond the wallet" so people can hold, spend, trade and grow their money while staying in control, which it describes as "Open Money."

MetaMask is rolling out support for managing XRP, telling users they can now manage XRP directly in the wallet. The announcement points users to a guide and replies to questions about how it works.
