Di be say dis integration go really affect major crypto price action. E go mainly affect on‑chain prediction market activity and how people dey use wallets, rather than change the fundamentals of major tokens directly. If MetaMask add Polymarket, e suppose increase user engagement and on‑chain volume for prediction markets, wey fit good for platforms and liquidity providers, but e no go on its own create sustained upward pressure for big coins like ETH or BTC. Short term, the news fit boost trading volume and UX‑driven inflows into prediction‑market contracts and related fees (small positive for fees wey networks capture). Long term, if more people dey trade inside wallets, e fit raise demand for on‑chain transactions and gas, small benefit to networks wey host these markets. But regulatory uncertainty around event markets and limited direct token utility linked to this specific integration dey limit upside; any price impact likely go remain local to prediction‑market tokens or service providers rather than the broad crypto market.
