Prediction market platform Pascal completes $9 million Series A funding, led by USV

Pascal, a prediction market platform, announced the completion of a $9 million Series A funding round. It plans to build a next-generation prediction market platform aimed at professional traders and institutional users, challenging the current market landscape dominated by Kalshi and Polymarket.

This funding round was led by Union Square Ventures (USV), with the specific valuation undisclosed. The financing is an extension of a $6 million seed round from August last year, with early investors including Wintermute Ventures and DBA.

Headquartered in New York, Pascal positions itself as a prediction market platform similar to Kalshi, but aims to offer users lower fees, higher liquidity, and more professional trading tools through a trading model closer to perpetual futures.

Ivo Crnkovic-Rubsamen, co-founder of Pascal, stated that the goal is to establish highly liquid prediction markets targeting real business risks in the future, enabling companies to utilize these markets for risk management and hedging. (Fortune)
