EDGE Markets raises $29.2M for prediction market bank and payment rail
EDGE Markets has raised $29.2 million to build banking and payment infrastructure tailored specifically for prediction markets, the company announced June 8, 2026. The funding will support EDGE Pro, a high-throughput banking platform aimed at prediction market makers with real-time deposit capabilities to all CFTC-regulated exchanges. The raise comes as Crypto.com debuts its own OG Prediction Markets platform, signaling growing infrastructure competition in the sector. EDGE Markets also launched real-time payments services tailored to gambling and prediction market operators. The round was announced alongside these product debuts as the company positions itself as a specialized financial infrastructure provider for the emerging prediction market ecosystem.
EDGE Pro's real-time deposit rail to all CFTC-regulated exchanges removes a key settlement bottleneck that has kept institutional market makers like Wintermute from scaling regulated venue quotes to match crypto-native speed. Any prediction market operator without embedded banking now faces a build-or-partner decision against EDGE's first-mover rail.
Becomes the second major prediction markets infrastructure raise this week after Kalshi's $1 billion Series F, as capital chases both the regulated venue stack and the bank-and-payment layer beneath it.
