Türkiye’s largest digital asset platform Paribu has integrated Polymarket into its app, making it the first platform in the country to offer users access to prediction markets. The feature went live on 01 July through the DeFi section of the Paribu app, allowing users to trade outcome-based contracts directly from their existing balance without needing a separate wallet or new account.
What Prediction Markets Are
Prediction markets let participants take a position on whether a specific future event will occur. Each contract is priced as a probability — if a contract trades at 0.70, the market is collectively assigning a 70% chance to that outcome happening. Geopolitics, macroeconomics and culture drive the majority of trading activity, making these markets a real-time reflection of how participants collectively assess global developments.
Why Polymarket
Polymarket is the world’s largest prediction market by volume. It runs entirely on-chain, with outcomes settled through smart contracts and no central party controlling results or holding user funds. Monthly transaction volume on prediction markets broadly has grown from $1.2 billion in early 2025 to over $20 billion by January 2026, with more than 800,000 unique wallets participating each month according to TRM Labs data from March 2026.
How It Works Inside The App
Paribu functions as the interface layer. Users open and manage positions from within the app using their existing balance, while execution and settlement happen on-chain through Polymarket. Every position remains in the user’s self-custodial wallet throughout the entire process:
- No separate wallet app required
- No new account needed
- No gas token required before the first trade
- Positions funded directly from existing Paribu balance
- Full position monitoring and management within the app
The self-custody architecture behind the integration draws on Paribu’s proprietary ColdShield digital asset custody technology and passkey-based account abstraction developed through Clave, which joined Paribu as an in-house capability.
What Gets Listed And What Does Not
Not every Polymarket contract appears in the app. Each market goes through Paribu’s review process covering contract integrity, liquidity depth and risk profile before it becomes available to users. Risk disclosure is present at every step of the trading process.
