- The gaming payments company closed a Series A funding round of $29.2 million
- It’s also introducing a real-time deposits for traders on regulated prediction markets
EDGE Markets, a financial technology (fintech) company specializing in the gaming and prediction market industries, said it wrapped up a $29.2 million Series A financing round and that those proceeds will be used to expand its product suite, including two offerings focusing on prediction markets.
The company, which has long focused on alternative financial tools for bettors and cryptocurrency investors, raised $17.2 million in a seed financing round in March 2025. The latest capital raise was led by CoinFund with participation from Indicator Ventures, Mantis VC, Stepstone Group, and Bullpen Capital. Bullpen, Indicator, Mantis VC and Indicator Ventures also participated in the seed round.
CoinFund is one of the world’s first blockchain-native venture firms, dedicated to furthering the future of decentralized networks. CoinFund partners deeply with the founders building blockchain’s most important companies, offering technical insight, strategic guidance, and the credibility of a venture firm deeply rooted in the ecosystem,” according to a statement.
EDGE’s initial betting-specific product is the EDGE Boost Visa debit card platform, which has processed more than two billion transactions for bettors seeking increased deposit efficiencies with regulated sportsbooks. EDGE Boost is gaining momentum at a time when more gaming companies and states are prohibiting iGaming and sportsbook account funding and deposits via credit cards.
Inside EDGE Pro
Some of the $29.2 million EDGE raised in the Series A financing round will be allocated to the company’s new EDGE Pro product, which the firm describes as the “first high throughput deposit accounts” for market makers.
Closely held EDGE Markets said EDGE Pro allows for real-time deposits into yes/no exchanges regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). To support that product, the company is pursuing introducing broker and future commission merchant (FCM) approvals from the National Futures Association.
Should EDGE Markets prove successful in procuring those regulatory approvals, its clients will be able to execute prediction markets trades directly through their EDGE accounts. That could be appealing for both the company and its customers at a time of explosive volume growth on prediction markets.
“EDGE Pro solves the two largest friction points for institutional capital to scale: multi-liquidity pool post-execution settlement and margin,” according to the company.
Connecting with EDGE Connect
EDGE Markets also notes that some of the newly raised capital will be directed to its EDGE Connect offering, which could gain traction with gaming companies because it leverages a real-time network aimed at lowering operators’ transaction costs.
EDGE Connect accomplishes that objective by charging a flat fee on new deposits over a 24- to 48-hour period. The platform’s real-time payments functionality is supported by most major domestic banks.
“EDGE Connect significantly reduces churn costs, eliminates chargebacks, and provides users with a faster, more secure experience. Back testing with major operators has shown a 70%+ cost reduction in payment processing fees. EDGE Connect also supports high throughput Real Time Payments (RTP) at no cost for EDGE users or operators to push funds into their accounts 24/7/365,” adds the company.
