Paribu adds DeFi, Polymarket and stock waitlist to its app

Türkiye-based digital asset platform Paribu has launched DeFi access inside its main app, adding DEX trading, perpetual contracts through Hyperliquid, and Polymarket-linked option markets

Summary

• Paribu now offers Hyperliquid perpetuals and Polymarket markets through its main self-custodial DeFi app section.
• The platform opened a waitlist for NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul stock trading access soon.
• Paribu says users can trade DeFi products without separate wallet apps, seed phrases, or transfers.

The company also opened a waitlist for stock trading as it works to combine crypto, DeFi, yield products, and equities in one app.

Paribu said it is the first regulated exchange to offer both Hyperliquid perpetuals and Polymarket option markets through a centralized exchange interface. Users can access the DeFi section with their existing balance, without a separate wallet app, seed phrase, or new account. The company said each DeFi position remains self-custodial, while trades settle onchain through linked protocols.

DeFi access targets Türkiye’s retail market

Paribu framed the launch around Türkiye’s active crypto market. The company cited TRM Labs data showing Türkiye ranked fifth globally in retail crypto activity, with $40 billion in volume in Q1 2026. The figure rose 7% year over year while global retail crypto volume fell 11%.

The company said many local retail users keep their main crypto holdings inside one app and have not used DeFi wallet tools. Paribu’s DeFi access is designed to let these users reach onchain markets without switching platforms. Its blog post on DeFi access says the wallet setup uses passkeys and recovery tools instead of seed phrases.

Hyperliquid and Polymarket enter the app

The Hyperliquid integration lets Paribu users trade perpetual contracts from the DeFi section of the app. Trades route to Hyperliquid’s decentralized blockchain, while positions remain in users’ self-custodial wallets. Paribu said Hyperliquid has processed more than $4 trillion in cumulative trading volume.

The launch follows wider activity around Hyperliquid. As reported by crypto.news, Kalshi launched CFTC-regulated HYPE perpetual futures, lifting HYPE futures open interest to $2.48 billion. Moreover, crypto.news reported thatHyperliquid added validator-settled outcome markets under HIP-4, expanding beyond perpetual futures.

Paribu also added access to Polymarket markets through the same DeFi section. The company said it will list curated markets only, with each contract reviewed for integrity, liquidity, and risk profile before appearing in the app. Paribu serves as the interface, while execution and settlement happen onchain through Polymarket infrastructure.

The rollout comes as prediction markets face closer review in several jurisdictions. As crypto.news reported, the CFTC is preparing new rules that could affect Polymarket and Kalshi. Crypto.news also reported that the CFTC sued Kentucky to block state action against Kalshi, Polymarket, and related partners.

Stock trading remains pending

Paribu is also preparing to offer equities. Its brokerage arm has received establishment authorization from Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board and is waiting for an operating license. The company said NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul stocks will become tradable after the license process is complete.

For now, users can view real-time market data for U.S. and Turkish stocks inside the app. Paribu said the stock waitlist is open before trading goes live. Founder and CEO Yasin Oral said, “Paribu is becoming a single app for all of finance: crypto, DeFi, equities, and yield.”

The expansion follows other Paribu moves. Previously, crypto.news reported that Paribu’s $240 million CoinMENA acquisition led a weekly crypto funding period in December 2025. The company has also said Clave joined Paribu in 2026 to support passkey-based account abstraction and self-custody tools.
