Disclosure: Sparkling wrote this comparison and is one of the apps in it. We describe competitors the way their own documentation does, including where they are ahead of us. Facts checked in September 2026.
A year ago, a leveraged BTC position, a bet on an election and exposure to Nvidia meant a separate exchange, wallet and bridge for each. Today the leading apps offer all three, because the liquidity is there: Hyperliquid's share of monthly perpetual volume against all centralized exchanges hit a record 6.63% in May 2026, and Polymarket traded about $425 million in a single day on February 28, 2026.

MetaMask
Best for: Polymarket inside the wallet you already use. MetaMask offers Hyperliquid perpetual futures, an exclusive Polymarket integration and US stocks such as Nvidia and Tesla. Its Agent Wallet, in early access since June 2026, lets AI agents trade within limits the user sets in advance. Trade-off: EVM-first, and its agent model is delegation.
Phantom
Best for: Solana natives. Phantom serves more than 20 million users and has added perpetual futures and tokenized equities. Its prediction markets run on World Prediction Markets on Solana, mobile only. Trade-off: no Polymarket liquidity, and perps are unavailable in the US and UK.
Trust Wallet
Best for: breadth. More than 100 perp markets via Hyperliquid or Aster DEX, and prediction markets from Hyperliquid HIP-4, Polymarket, Predict.fun and Myriad. Tokenized stocks and ETFs come through Ondo Finance. Trade-off: a generalist wallet first, with more to navigate.
FOMO
Best for: social trading. FOMO reported more than 600,000 users and over $4 billion in volume through a single account and balance at its June 2026 Series B. Perps run on Hyperliquid and trade.xyz, including stock and commodity markets, and are not available to US users. Trade-off: no prediction markets, and trades are public by design.
Sparkling
Best for: traders who want an agent. Sparkling is the trading app that comes with an agent: perpetual futures on Hyperliquid, Polymarket prediction markets (as a verified builder), tokenized US stocks from xStocks and cross-chain swaps, all from one self-custodial balance. Swaps run through Bebop RFQ, with NEAR Intents, LI.FI and Jupiter as fallback routes for wide coverage across tokens and chains. Experienced traders get a polished native trading interface for perps, prediction markets and swaps, and the agent works inside it: any request, typed or tapped, becomes a ready-to-sign trade, and nothing moves until you confirm. Deposits and trading on perps and prediction markets are gasless, and there is no seed phrase to write down at signup. Trade-off: the newest app here. It launches in Telegram, with the full web app on October 14 and no social feed.
The real difference: who presses the button
On Phantom and Trust Wallet you do everything yourself. On FOMO you take cues from other traders. MetaMask Agent Wallet delegates execution to an AI within your limits. Sparkling gives you both: trade manually in the native interface, or let the agent do the prep while you press the button.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best app to trade perps and prediction markets in one place?
It depends on how you trade. MetaMask, Trust Wallet and Sparkling combine Hyperliquid perpetual futures with Polymarket. Phantom offers both on its own infrastructure. FOMO has perps but no prediction markets.
Which self-custodial apps let you trade Polymarket?
As of September 2026: MetaMask, Trust Wallet and Sparkling.
Does Sparkling's agent trade on my behalf?
No. The agent prepares the trade, you confirm every order, and your funds never leave your control.
Perpetual futures, prediction markets and tokenized stocks involve substantial risk, including the loss of all funds. Some services are not available in certain jurisdictions, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
