- MetaMask Perps now supports gold, silver, and major foreign exchange trading.
- Users can trade goods and currencies using leveraged perpetual contracts.
MetaMask has rolled out perpetual trading for gold, silver, and major foreign exchange pairs on its mobile app, allowing users to go long or short in these markets without holding the underlying assets.
Previously, MetaMask already offered perpetual futures for various popular crypto assets. However, the selection of instruments has expanded even further.
Gold and silver offer options for traders who want to monitor price movements in precious metals. Foreign currency pairs, on the other hand, provide access to the dynamics of the foreign exchange market that have been associated with traditional trading platforms.

MetaMask opens the door to multi-market trading
MetaMask allows for perpetual trading that is independent of contract expiration, allowing users to hold positions as long as the margin lasts, giving them room for high leverage. On the other hand, this system also requires careful risk management, as rapid price fluctuations can lead to liquidation.
By introducing gold and silver, crypto wallets are demonstrating their desire to appeal to a wider group of traders. Metals are typically considered protective assets, and the foreign exchange market is active throughout the day. Having all these options on one platform streamlines the overall trading experience.
In late November of last year, we reported that MetaMask Mobile enabled perpetual trading of on-chain stocks with leverage. This allows users to trade certain stock-based contracts directly from the app. Now, the range of assets accessible through MetaMask has expanded with the addition of products and currencies.
At this time, this feature is limited to MetaMask’s mobile app. Anyone who wants to use this will need to make sure they’re running the latest version to see the perps menu.
However, perpetual trading is still not for beginners. Gold, silver and foreign exchange price movements can be influenced by many global factors, from central bank policies to market sentiment. Leverage can potentially lead to profits, but it also increases risk.
Meanwhile, on December 9th, we covered how MetaMask is using Rango’s multi-chain routing infrastructure to extend cross-chain swap functionality.
Initially only supporting EVM and Solana, it now includes Bitcoin and will soon support Tron. This move makes cross-blockchain asset exchange more flexible directly from your wallet.
However, with the expansion of functionality, security risks have also surfaced. On January 5th, we covered SlowMist’s report on a 2FA phishing scam targeting MetaMask users. The attackers spoofed the wallet alert and created a fake 2FA page to steal users’ passphrases.
In fact, the “Melta Mask” domain was used with typosquatting techniques and urgent messages that caught victims off guard.
