PANews reported on April 2nd that, according to The Block, Solana platform Pump.fun led a $1 million pre-seed funding round for live prediction market platform Pumpcade, with participation from Foundation Capital and angel investor RadioSolace. Pumpcade is integrated into Pump.fun's chat system, allowing users to create prediction markets with a single click within a live stream, compressing the entire market cycle to approximately 60 seconds to 30 minutes, covering various topics including crypto assets, stocks, and sports events. The project launched its private beta in January, with approximately 500 users creating thousands of markets on the testnet. It plans to open public beta and launch its mainnet in Q2 2026. This round of funding will primarily be used to expand the engineering team and advance commercialization.
