You cannot mix async and synchronous code like this. By calling .Wait, the UI thread is stuck waiting for the task to finish, but the task is essentially trying to "Invoke" on the UI thread, so it cannot finish. Result: deadlock.

You can see more information about the basic problem here.

One option, as a band-aid, is to use ConfigureAwait(false) on the await polo_client.Wallet.GetBalancesAsync() call; that will override the default behavior of trying to return to the UI thread. (Note that means you can't access the UI after the await, because it will be continuing on a different thread!)

I have written a longer piece here about bringing async code into the core of a UI application.
