New York-based fintech Edge Markets, founded by Seni Thomas, is developing the EDGE Pro platform to automate margin call coverage for prediction markets. The system allows institutions to pre-authorize capital, ensuring funds are routed automatically to meet collateral demands even when traditional banking services are offline.
The platform utilizes a payment rail called EDGE Connect, which integrates with real-time networks like FedNow to facilitate instant settlement. EDGE Pro is designed to support regulated venues, including Kalshi and Polymarket, while adhering to compliance standards established by the CFTC.
Under specific conditions, the platform enables real-time deposits of up to $10 million per day. Institutional participants can access real-time funding of $1 million or more daily without deposit fees. The company has also established partnerships with River Markets, ParlayX, and ProphetX to expand its reach.
On June 8, 2026, Edge Markets secured $29.2 million in a Series A funding round led by investors including CoinFund. This investment brings the company's total funding to approximately $46–51 million. The capital is allocated for the development of EDGE Pro, with a product rollout expected later in 2026.
