MetaMask Prepares In-Wallet “Perpetuals Trading,” Poised to Evolve into a Full Trading Terminal

MetaMask is preparing to add “Perpetuals Trading” directly inside its wallet—an upgrade that would move the app beyond storage and swaps toward a true, trader-first terminal. If implemented, users could open, manage, and close perpetual futures positions without leaving the wallet interface, unifying execution, portfolio, and risk views in one place.

Why it matters: derivatives are where much of crypto’s liquidity and price discovery happen. Bringing perps in-wallet streamlines the trader journey by removing tab-hopping between exchanges, aggregators, and portfolio tools. It also sets the stage for richer order types, better capital efficiency, and tighter integration with on-chain analytics and automation.

What to expect: a non-custodial workflow that keeps keys with users while connecting to on-chain derivatives venues. Anticipate wallet-native deposit/withdraw flows for margin, funding-rate and liquidation telemetry, and standard features such as isolated/cross margin, stop/limit orders, and PnL tracking. Region-based access controls and clear risk disclosures are likely, given derivatives regulations across markets.

Who benefits: active traders get lower friction and faster decision loops; DeFi power users gain a single surface for spot, swaps, bridging, and perps. Newer users may also benefit from guided execution and simplified margin management—though the usual caveats apply: leverage amplifies risk, funding rates fluctuate, and liquidations can be rapid in volatile markets.

The big picture: wallets are evolving into “super terminals” that consolidate identity, assets, and execution. By layering perpetuals into the interface, MetaMask signals a product arc from passive key-manager to active trading hub. The outcome could reshape how liquidity routes on-chain—shifting more volume into wallet-centric front ends and accelerating the convergence of custody, analytics, and execution inside a single, non-custodial app.

Meta Stock Plunges After Landmark Child Safety Verdicts: Is the Social Media Business Model Under Threat?

Meta Stock Plunges After Landmark Child Safety Verdicts: Is the Social Media Business Model Under Threat? Meta Platforms suffered one of its sharpest market setbacks of 2026 after a pair of U.S. jury verdicts triggered a wave of investor concern about the future of social media liability. On March 26, 2026, Meta shares fell roughly 7% to 8% in a single session, wiping out about $119 billion to $120 billion in market value. The selloff was not driven by inflation, rates, or weak advertising demand. It was driven by the courts. Why Meta Stock Fell So Hard The market reaction came after two major legal losses tied to harm allegedly caused to young users on social media platforms. In New Mexico, a jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million after finding the company liable in a case centered on child safety and consumer protection failures. In Los Angeles, a separate jury awarded $6 million in a case involving claims that Instagram and YouTube were designed in ways that contributed to addicti...

Broadcom (AVGO) Q1 FY2026 Earnings Preview: AI Revenue, Margins & Q2 Guidance

Broadcom (AVGO) Q1 FY2026 Earnings Preview: The Real Battle Is AI Confidence—and Q2 Guidance Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) reports fiscal Q1 FY2026 results after the U.S. market close on March 4, 2026 , followed by an earnings call the same day. But for this print, the market isn’t just grading “beat or miss.” The bigger test is whether Broadcom can reinforce confidence in the AI infrastructure cycle —and whether management’s Q2 FY2026 guidance is strong enough (and high-quality enough) to stabilize sentiment across a fragile megacap tech tape. Key Timing: When AVGO Reports and When the Call Starts Broadcom’s investor site lists the Q1 FY2026 earnings call on March 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET (2:00 PM PT) . Thailand time (Bangkok, UTC+7): 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT = 5:00 AM in Thailand on March 5, 2026 (because the U.S. is still on standard time before daylight saving begins). Why This Earnings Report Matters More Than “Q1 Numbers” Broadcom sits in the center of “real AI infrastructur...

Is Inflation Really Vanishing in One Month? What the Bond Market Is Actually Pricing In

Image
The bond market has suddenly started sending a message that feels almost too good to be true: inflation is fading fast. That shift has surprised many investors, especially because the global economy only recently absorbed a major energy shock. Yet despite lingering uncertainty, one market-based inflation gauge has fallen sharply in just a matter of weeks. The number catching everyone’s attention is the US 1-year breakeven inflation rate . After climbing above 5.3% in early March 2026 , it dropped to around 3.45% within a short period. At first glance, that sounds like a dramatic improvement in the inflation outlook. But has the market really changed its mind that quickly? Not entirely. What Is 1-Year Breakeven Inflation? 1-year breakeven inflation is derived from the spread between a standard US Treasury bond and a Treasury Inflation-Protected Security, or TIPS . In simple terms, it reflects what the market expects inflation to average over the next 12 months. Because it is mar...

Oil Market in Turmoil: US Exports Surge to 12.7 Million Barrels Per Day Amid Iran War Shock

Oil Market in Turmoil: US Exports Surge to 12.7 Million Barrels Per Day Amid Iran War Shock The global oil market has been thrown into fresh chaos, and the United States is emerging as one of the biggest winners from the disruption. In just one week, US oil exports reportedly surged to 12.7 million barrels per day , with more than 5 million barrels per day in crude exports alone , marking a record high. This sudden jump is not happening in isolation. It comes at a time when the world is facing a major energy shock after Iran’s move to close the Strait of Hormuz , one of the most critical oil transit routes in the world. With global supply disrupted and Gulf producers forced to cut output, the US shale industry has stepped in to fill the gap. What we are seeing is more than a short-term export boost. It may signal a deeper shift in the balance of power in global energy markets. How the Iran Conflict Reshaped the Oil Market The Strait of Hormuz has long been one of the most importan...

Meta Falls 7% While Google Rises 7% as AI CapEx Splits Wall Street

Image
Meta Falls 7% While Google Rises 7%: Why Wall Street Rewarded Google’s AI Spending but Punished Meta’s Meta and Alphabet both delivered stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings, yet Wall Street reacted in completely opposite ways. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, saw its shares jump around 7% in after-hours trading, while Meta’s stock dropped about 7%. The split reaction highlights one of the biggest questions facing Big Tech today: which companies can turn massive AI investment into real revenue fast enough? Both companies reported strong growth and raised their capital expenditure plans to support AI infrastructure. But investors appeared far more comfortable with Alphabet’s AI spending because Google Cloud is already showing clear monetization, while Meta still needs to prove that its AI investments can generate meaningful returns beyond advertising. Strong Earnings From Both Companies On the surface, both Meta and Alphabet delivered impressive numbers. Meta reported r...
