Paribu, Turkey’s leading digital asset platform, has launched DeFi access, covering DEX trading, perpetual contracts via Hyperliquid and options markets via Polymarket and opened a waiting list for stock trading. The moves mark a strategic shift for the nine-year-old exchange as it transforms into a single application covering crypto, DeFi, yield and stocks.
Paribu is the first regulated exchange to offer both hyperliquid perpetual options and Polymarket options markets directly in a CEX interface, without a separate wallet application. Users access all DeFi features from the existing Paribu app, using their existing balance, through a fully standalone setup. Paribu offers on-chain access from the exchange interface itself: same account, same balance, no separate application, no seed phrase. Each DeFi position is self-custodial, the assets remain in the user’s own wallet at all times.
A one-stop destination for investing in traditional and on-chain markets
Turkey ranks fifth globally in retail crypto activity, recording $40 billion in volume in the first quarter of 2026 alone, representing 7% year-over-year growth amid an 11% global contraction (TRM Labs, April 2026). Until now, its retail investor base has not had meaningful access to on-chain perpetual or options markets.
Existing integrations for Hyperliquid and Polymarket have reached users already operating in DeFi wallet environments. Paribu introduces these markets to a different audience: the millions of people who manage their major crypto holdings in a single app and have never had a reason to leave it. The Paribu integration allows them to access perpetual and options markets without giving up that familiar setup: no separate wallet app, no new accounts, no switching platforms, and the entire experience stays within Paribu.
“Paribu is becoming a single app for all of finance: crypto, DeFi, stocks, and yield. The integration of Hyperliquid and Polymarket is another step toward this vision. Instead of requiring users to navigate multiple wallets and protocols, we’re bringing millions of people a seamless, self-custody DeFi experience within the app, making on-chain perpetual and prediction markets as accessible as the rest of their financial lives. Soon, we’ll expand this even further vision by providing access to US stocks and Borsa Istanbul-listed stocks in the Paribu app, creating a one-stop destination for investing in both traditional and on-chain markets. — Yasin Oral, Founder and CEO, Paribu
Perpetuals, now on a CEX experience
Perpetual contracts are now accessible through the DeFi section of the Paribu app. Transactions are routed directly to Hyperliquid’s decentralized blockchain. Every position exists at any time on-chain, in the user’s self-custodial wallet.
Hyperliquid has become the dominant infrastructure layer for on-chain perpetuals. The protocol has processed over $4 trillion in cumulative trading volume, dominates the decentralized FX market with its open interest, and has attracted a fast-growing ecosystem of builders, including integrations with leading self-custody wallets. Its builder code program has distributed over $85 million in revenue to frontend developers. For Paribu, integrating Hyperliquid means connecting its users to the deepest on-chain liquidity available in the perpetual market today.
Prediction markets, accessible for the first time in Türkiye
Curated prediction markets can be accessed through the same DeFi section. Paribu serves as an interface layer; execution and settlement take place on-chain via Polymarket’s infrastructure. The markets are curated: each contract is reviewed for its integrity, depth of liquidity and risk profile before appearing in the application.
Polymarket is the world’s largest decentralized options market. This is the first time that options markets have been accessible to retailers in Turkey through a consumer exchange interface, and the first time that a centralized exchange has offered Polymarket through a fully self-custodial setup.
Stocks are arriving
Paribu holds the CMB establishment authorization for its brokerage branch, which is awaiting its operating authorization. Shares of NYSE, Nasdaq and Borsa Istanbul will be tradable on Paribu. Real-time market data for all three is available today, free to all users. A waiting list is opened before the exchanges go online.
