Paribu, Turkey’s largest digital asset platform, has integrated Polymarket into its app, making it the first platform in the country to provide users with access to prediction markets. The feature has gone live on July 1 through the DeFi section of the Paribu app, allowing users to trade outcome-based contracts directly from their existing balance without the need for a separate wallet or new account.
What are prediction markets?
Prediction markets allow participants to take a position on whether a specific future event will occur. Each contract is priced as a probability – if the contract is trading at 0.70, the market collectively assigns a 70% chance of this outcome occurring. Geopolitics, macroeconomics, and culture drive the majority of trading activity, making these markets a real-time reflection of how participants collectively evaluate global developments.
Why Polymarket?
Polymarket is the world’s largest prediction market by volume. It runs entirely cross-chain, with outcomes settled through smart contracts and no central party controlling outcomes or holding users’ funds. Monthly transaction volume in prediction markets has grown extensively from $1.2 billion in early 2025 to more than $20 billion by January 2026, with more than 800,000 unique wallets participating each month according to TRM Labs data as of March 2026.
How it works inside the app
Paribu acts as the interface layer. Users open and manage trades from within the app using their existing balance, while execution and settlement are done on-chain through Polymarket. Each position remains in the user’s self-custody wallet throughout the entire process:
- No separate wallet app required
- No need for a new account
- No gas token is required before the first trade
- Positions funded directly from your existing Paribo balance
- Complete situation monitoring and management within the app
The self-custody architecture behind the integration is based on Paribu’s ColdShield digital asset custody technology and passkey-based account abstraction developed by Clave, which has joined Paribu as an internal capability.
What is included and what is not
Not every Polymarket contract appears in the app. Each market goes through a Paribu 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.
