Paribu, a Turkish crypto exchange, has repositioned itself as a multi-product, multi-asset investment app. The platform launched DeFi access spanning DEX trading, Hyperliquid onchain perpetuals, and Polymarket prediction markets, and opened a waitlist for stock trading pending regulatory approval. The company claims to be the first regulated exchange globally to offer both Hyperliquid perpetuals and Polymarket prediction markets within a centralized exchange interface. This expansion aims to bridge the gap between regulated safety and DeFi tool access in a market where compliant platforms have traditionally remained cautious. Paribu's brokerage arm has received establishment authorization from Türkiye's Capital Markets Board, positioning it to offer trading in stocks listed on NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul once a full operating license is granted.
Paribu Launches DeFi Access and Opens Stock Trading Waitlist
Paribu rolled out DeFi access across three product categories: DEX trading, Hyperliquid onchain perpetuals, and Polymarket prediction markets. Hyperliquid is an onchain derivatives protocol known for high-performance perpetual contracts executed directly on-chain. Polymarket is a prediction market platform where users bet on real-world event outcomes. Bringing both under a regulated exchange interface represents a significant operational and compliance undertaking.
The platform opened a waitlist for stock trading. The actual launch depends on receiving a full operating license from Türkiye's Capital Markets Board, which has not yet been granted. Once licensed, Paribu plans to offer trading in stocks listed on NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul.
Paribu Claims First-Mover Status Among Regulated Exchanges
Paribu states it is the first regulated exchange to offer access to both Hyperliquid perpetuals and Polymarket prediction markets within a centralized exchange interface. This positioning targets retail investors seeking regulated platform security without sacrificing access to DeFi instruments. The typical trade-off in crypto has been between safety and access — regulated platforms offer more security but limited tools, while decentralized protocols provide more instruments but with greater complexity and no consumer protections.
Integrating Hyperliquid and Polymarket within a CEX interface raises questions about how compliance frameworks apply to onchain perpetuals and event-based markets, products that do not map neatly onto traditional financial regulation.
Paribu Receives Establishment Authorization from Türkiye's Capital Markets Board
Paribu's brokerage arm received establishment authorization from Türkiye's Capital Markets Board. This regulatory milestone clears the first hurdle toward becoming a fully licensed brokerage and positions Paribu in a distinct category among domestic crypto firms.
The next stage is an operating license, which would allow Paribu to offer trading in stocks listed on NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul. The timeline for that license remains uncertain, which is why the stock trading feature is currently waitlist-only. The establishment authorization suggests the regulatory relationship is active and progressing.
