HyperEVM Trading Protocol Catapult Trade Announces $6 Million Raise, TGE to Follow

iTrading platform Catapult Trade announced it has completed a total of $6.6 million in funding across 4 rounds. The seed round investors include KuCoin Ventures, Oddiyana Ventures, Venture Vault VC, and an undisclosed T1 fund, with angel investors including Blockstreet Co-Founder and CMO Kyle Klemmer (advisor to WLFI and USD1), veteran trader MacnBTC (active since 2017), and former Manta Network CSO Aamir Ghai (Harvard blockchain mentor). The private round saw participation from operators including the founder of LIS Skins (CS:GO marketplace with approximately $50 million in assets under management) and the founder of Trady (a multi-chain trading terminal), while the KOL round involved over 30 top-tier traders and analysts. The funding will support Catapult Turbo (which has achieved $6 billion in notional trading volume and $3.3 million in net revenue since launch) and three new products: Gamified Futures, a Gamified Prediction Market powered by Obsidian, and TradFi and crypto classic futures. $PULT, the iTrading token, is planned for launch in fall 2026. Strategic round participants will be announced before the TGE, with listing discussions currently underway with multiple top-tier exchanges.
