MetaMask is set to elevate its offerings in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space by integrating Hyperliquid's perpetual trading into its platform. Based on the data provided in the document, this strategic move comes on the heels of the recent launch of its mUSD stablecoin, signaling a robust expansion of MetaMask's capabilities.
Integration of Hyperliquid's Trading Features
The integration of Hyperliquid's trading features is confirmed through recent code updates on MetaMask's GitHub repository, alongside statements from ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin.

This enhancement not only aims to attract retail traders but also makes the platform more appealing to institutional investors looking for robust trading solutions in the DeFi landscape.
