Paribu Expands Into DeFi, Yield and Equities With Unified Investment App

Paribu, Türkiye's leading digital asset platform and CoinMENA’s parent company, is expanding beyond crypto trading into decentralized finance, prediction markets, and equities, as it moves toward building a unified investment application that combines traditional and onchain markets in a single interface.

The expansion includes access to DeFi trading, perpetual contracts via Hyperliquid, prediction markets via Polymarket, and a forthcoming equities offering covering both U.S. and Turkish stock markets.

The move positions Paribu among a growing number of exchanges seeking to evolve into full-spectrum financial platforms rather than standalone crypto trading venues.

Unified Access to Onchain and Traditional Markets

Through its updated application, Paribu now allows users to access decentralized trading features directly within its centralized exchange interface.

The integration includes Hyperliquid-powered perpetual futures and Polymarket prediction markets, both accessible without requiring external wallet applications or separate DeFi interfaces.

All transactions are executed onchain, while users interact through a single Paribu account and balance structure. The platform operates on a self-custodial model, meaning users retain control of their assets throughout all DeFi interactions.

Paribu described the approach as an effort to remove technical barriers that have historically limited access to decentralized markets.

Türkiye’s Retail Crypto Market Drives Expansion

Türkiye remains one of the most active retail crypto markets globally, ranking fifth in trading activity with approximately $40 billion in volume recorded in Q1 2026, according to TRM Labs.

Despite strong retail participation in crypto spot markets, access to more advanced instruments such as onchain perpetuals and prediction markets has remained limited for mainstream users.

Paribu’s integration aims to bridge that gap by embedding DeFi market infrastructure into a familiar exchange environment used by millions of retail investors.

Perpetual Futures via Hyperliquid Integration

Paribu’s DeFi section now supports perpetual futures trading routed through Hyperliquid’s decentralized infrastructure.

While users interact through the Paribu app, execution occurs directly onchain via Hyperliquid, with positions maintained in user-controlled wallets.

Hyperliquid has become one of the most prominent infrastructure layers in decentralized derivatives, processing trillions in cumulative trading volume and attracting significant developer activity across the ecosystem.

The integration allows Paribu users to access deep onchain liquidity without leaving a centralized interface structure.

Prediction Markets Introduced to Turkish Retail Users

The platform has also introduced curated prediction markets through Polymarket, marking the first time such markets have been made accessible to Turkish retail users via a mainstream exchange interface.

Paribu acts as the access layer, while settlement and execution occur onchain through Polymarket’s infrastructure.

Each listed market is curated based on liquidity, risk profile, and contract integrity before being made available to users.

Equities Expansion Under Regulatory Pathway

Paribu has also opened a waitlist for equities trading, which will include access to U.S. stocks such as those listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq, as well as Borsa Istanbul equities.

The company holds establishment authorization from Türkiye’s Capital Markets Board (CMB) for its brokerage arm, which is currently awaiting its operating license.

Real-time equities data is already available within the app.

Toward a Single Financial Interface

Paribu founder and CEO Yasin Oral said the expansion reflects a broader strategy to unify financial services across crypto, DeFi, and traditional markets.

He stated that the goal is to eliminate fragmentation across platforms and provide a seamless experience where users can access multiple asset classes within a single application.

The upcoming equities rollout is expected to extend this model further by integrating both domestic and international markets into the same ecosystem.

Paribu’s expansion reflects a broader industry trend in which centralized exchanges are evolving into integrated financial platforms that combine regulated market access with decentralized infrastructure.

By embedding DeFi protocols such as Hyperliquid and Polymarket directly into its app, Paribu is positioning itself at the intersection of traditional finance and onchain market infrastructure, targeting both retail adoption and institutional-grade scalability.
