EDGE Markets Raises $29.2 Million for EDGE Pro and EDGE Connect Launch

3 articles · Updated · PR Newswire · Jun 8

Summary

  • $29.2 million in Series A funding will finance EDGE Markets' rollout of EDGE Pro for market makers and EDGE Connect for gaming and prediction-market payments, with CoinFund leading the round.
  • EDGE Pro is designed to remove two key trading bottlenecks—post-execution settlement across liquidity pools and margin—while EDGE pursues NFA registrations that would let users trade directly through their accounts.
  • EDGE Connect targets operators' payment costs with a real-time rail that charges only on net new deposits over 24 to 48 hours; company back-testing showed processing-fee reductions of more than 70%.
  • Both products will be free to early users in 2026 as EDGE tries to become core infrastructure for regulated prediction markets, building on EDGE Boost, whose Visa debit program has already processed more than $2 billion.
