EDGE Markets
Banking infrastructure for prediction markets, gaming, and crypto
Last verified August 17, 2026 · Updated daily
What EDGE Markets is building
EDGE Markets runs three financial products for markets that traditional banks were not built to serve. EDGE Boost is the existing product: a Visa debit card and banking platform issued through Cross River Bank (Member FDIC) that lets users in sports betting, iGaming, and crypto move money in and out of platforms 24/7 without triggering the bank restrictions that block most consumer payment flows in regulated gaming. The Visa debit programme has processed more than two billion dollars in transactions since its launch. It includes built-in responsible gaming tools (spending limits, real-time tracking) and a crypto-to-fiat conversion layer via a ZeroHash integration announced in May 2026. EDGE Pro is the new institutional product: the first high throughput deposit accounts for market makers that enable seamless, real-time deposits into all CFTC regulated exchanges. EDGE Pro solves the two largest friction points for institutional capital to scale: multi-liquidity pool post-execution settlement and margin. Market makers on Kalshi, Polymarket, and CFTC-registered prediction exchanges currently face delays and fragmentation when moving capital between liquidity pools. EDGE Pro collapses that into a single high-throughput account. EDGE Connect is the new operator-facing payment rail: the industry's first purpose-built payment rail, engineered specifically for the regulated gaming and prediction market ecosystems. EDGE Connect supports high throughput Real Time Payments (RTP) at no cost for EDGE users or operators to push funds into their accounts 24/7/365. RTP is supported by the majority of banks in the US and requires no integration from operators. Both EDGE Pro and EDGE Connect are being offered free to early users and operators through the end of 2026 to drive adoption.
Why this matters
The prediction market category is experiencing a structural inflection. Polymarket received a $2 billion investment from ICE (NYSE's parent) in 2026 and hit a $9 billion valuation. Kalshi received CFTC approval to list event contracts nationally. Trading volume has crossed hundreds of billions of dollars annually. These are no longer retail novelty products. They are financial markets, and institutional capital is beginning to flow into them. Institutional capital has a specific problem that retail-facing solutions do not solve: it needs to move in size, in real time, across multiple regulated exchanges simultaneously, with settlement mechanics that match the 24/7 nature of prediction market events. Alex Felix, co-founder and CIO of CoinFund, said: "The biggest moments in gaming and prediction markets happen on nights and weekends, exactly when the banking system slows to a crawl. EDGE built the rails to match that reality. And, as institutions start to participate in these markets seriously, the ability to move capital in size, in real time, any day of the week, stops being a nice-to-have and becomes table stakes. We think EDGE becomes the default settlement layer for an entirely new category of financial markets." That framing, EDGE as the settlement layer for a new category, is the category-capture thesis that CoinFund is backing. They are not betting on EDGE being a good fintech product. They are betting on EDGE being the rails that everything else in prediction markets runs on.

Very High. The new funding will support the launch of EDGE Pro and EDGE Connect, two entirely new product lines requiring dedicated engineering, product, compliance, and commercial teams. EDGE Boost has already processed more than two billion dollars in transactions since launch, making it one of the fastest-growing debit card programmes in Visa's ecosystem. That is the foundation. The Series A is the expansion.

Why applying the normal way doesn't work
EDGE Markets uses an ATS, but referrals still come first. Cold applications aren't ignored — they're just behind referrals, sourced candidates, and recruiter picks.
Who to contact at EDGE Markets
What to show them
EDGE's technical core is Real Time Payments (RTP) at high throughput, 24/7, integrated with CFTC-regulated exchange infrastructure. Building and maintaining that requires engineers who understand payments protocols, RTP network integration, ACH and wire fallbacks, and the specific settlement mechanics of CFTC-regulated derivatives exchanges. Cross River Bank is the banking partner for EDGE Boost. The EDGE Pro and EDGE Connect products require a different integration profile: direct clearing relationships with exchanges, not just card issuance. Core skills: Payments infrastructure (RTP, ACH, Fedwire), financial services API integration, Python or Go, high-throughput distributed systems, CFTC or FINRA regulated infrastructure experience, real-time settlement systems, financial data reconciliation Proof of work: Design a minimal settlement architecture for a prediction market operator that needs to: receive RTP deposits in real time, allocate margin to active positions across two different CFTC exchanges simultaneously, and reconcile positions at settlement without holding excess cash. Document your approach to the multi-exchange margin problem specifically. This is EDGE Pro's core engineering challenge.

What EDGE Markets screens for
The seed round investors, Bullpen, Indicator Ventures, and Mantis VC, all participated again in the Series A. Three re-ups from the same investor group is the clearest possible internal signal: the people with the most information about EDGE's day-to-day progress and economics all chose to put more money in. At a company that has already processed $2B in Visa transactions through EDGE Boost, that is not a rescue round. It is a product expansion mandate. CoinFund's thesis shapes the hiring priority. They are one of the oldest blockchain-native venture firms, having backed the infrastructure layer of crypto since its earliest institutional phase. Their portfolio companies are pushed toward three things: technical depth in the payment rail and compliance infrastructure, enterprise sales capacity for institutional market makers, and partnership infrastructure with exchanges and operators. All three are visible in what EDGE Pro and EDGE Connect require to launch and scale. Stepstone Group's participation is notable. Stepstone is a global private markets investment firm managing more than $170 billion in assets under management. They are not a standard venture investor. Their participation signals that some of their institutional LP base is already interested in accessing prediction market infrastructure or that EDGE's products are being evaluated for institutional deployment at that scale.

Don't make these mistakes
Generic excitement about prediction markets or crypto. EDGE has been operating in this space since before Polymarket's ICE investment and before Kalshi's national expansion. Seni has built two product lines against this thesis already. He does not need conviction-building. He needs engineers, compliance professionals, and commercial operators who can execute.
