Edge Markets develops system to reduce liquidation risk in prediction markets
Summary
Startup Edge Markets is developing an automated system to mitigate liquidation risks from margin calls in prediction markets, which operate continuously even when traditional banks are closed. According to Seni Thomas, founder and CEO of Edge Markets, the financial infrastructure needs to evolve to meet the increasing demand from automated and global trading. Their new service, Edge Pro, will enable institutions to pre-authorize capital and streamline transactions, particularly in light of recent advancements like perpetual futures trading that was introduced by Kalshi in May 2026. This initiative aligns with ongoing discussions at the CFTC concerning the necessity for robust infrastructure to support 24/7 capital movement in the context of regulatory scrutiny over evolving market products.
