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. According to reports from crypto.news, the platform now offers Hyperliquid perpetuals and Polymarket markets through its main self-custodial DeFi app section. 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.
Paribu framed the launch around Türkiye's active crypto market, citing TRM Labs data showing Türkiye ranked fifth globally in retail crypto activity, with $40 billion in volume in Q1 2026. As reported by crypto.news, 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, with wallet setup using passkeys and recovery tools instead of seed phrases.
The integration makes Paribu the first platform in Türkiye to offer users access to prediction markets through its DeFi section. According to AsiaTokenFund reports, the feature went live on July 1, 2026, allowing users to trade outcome-based contracts directly from their existing balance without needing separate accounts or wallets. The platform lists only curated markets reviewed for integrity, liquidity, and risk profile, ensuring users can access prediction markets within their familiar trading environment.
The Hyperliquid integration lets Paribu users trade perpetual contracts from the DeFi section of the app, with trades routing to Hyperliquid's decentralized blockchain while positions remain in users' self-custodial wallets. According to crypto.news, Hyperliquid has processed more than $4 trillion in cumulative trading volume. The launch follows wider activity around Hyperliquid, including Kalshi's launch of CFTC-regulated HYPE perpetual futures, lifting HYPE futures open interest to $2.48 billion. Paribu also added access to Polymarket markets through the same DeFi section.
Paribu is preparing to offer equities through its brokerage arm, which has received establishment authorization from Türkiye's Capital Markets Board and is waiting for an operating license. As reported by crypto.news, 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, with the stock waitlist 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.'
