Cascade: Neo-Brokerage for 24/7 Perpetual Trading

Cascade is a New York-based startup launching an invite-only neo-brokerage in December 2025, offering 24/7 perpetual futures across crypto, U.S. equities, and tokenized private assets like OpenAI and SpaceX. Users trade from a single margin account with seamless USD/stablecoin on-ramps via ACH, wire, or crypto. Backed by a $15M seed round from Polychain, Variant, Coinbase Ventures, and Archetype, Cascade is currently in pre-launch with limited early access ahead of its mainnet in Q1 2026.

The project is trending after a viral December 15 announcement offering a 48-hour early invite window via cascade.xyz/join. Engagement surged as users completed social tasks—following, retweeting, commenting, and joining Discord (which passed 18K members)—to secure FCFS "OG" roles. Though no token or airdrop has been confirmed, speculation around future rewards has driven classic crypto FOMO and hype within the community.

Probable: The Zero-Fee Onchain Prediction Market on BNB Chain

Probable is a newly launched onchain prediction market on BNB Chain, letting users bet on crypto prices, sports, global events, and cultural moments with zero trading fees. Incubated by PancakeSwap and YZi Labs, it uses UMA Protocol’s Optimistic Oracle for secure and fast settlements, features a central limit order book for liquidity, seamless token-to-USDT deposits, and plans for community-created markets and a points program.

The platform is trending following its December 16, 2025 launch, boosted by backing from PancakeSwap and YZi Labs. CZ’s recent post highlighting BNB Chain prediction markets was seen as an indirect endorsement, driving discussions and comparisons to past hits like Aster. Its accessible UX, zero-fee model, and potential reward farming have sparked excitement among traders and degens, positioning Probable as a potential leader in the resurging onchain prediction market space.

Lightcone: Trading the Impact of Parallel Realities On-Chain

Lightcone is an upcoming blockchain-based impact markets platform that lets users trade the financial consequences of real-world events across "multiple parallel realities"—conditional or hypothetical scenarios where events do or do not occur. Unlike traditional prediction markets, it enables nuanced expression of market beliefs, with a focus on trading impact rather than just probabilities. The project is pre-launch with no token yet, and its website positions it as a way to "trade the impact of world events."

The project is gaining traction due to early KOL attention and features in lists of top pre-token prediction and impact market projects for 2026. Its novel "parallel realities" mechanic stands out, attracting speculation and discussion within crypto communities seeking innovative approaches to on-chain forecasting and conditional asset trading.

Space: Leveraged On-Chain Prediction Markets on Solana

Space is a Solana-based decentralized prediction market platform offering up to 10x leverage on real-world events, from crypto prices to elections, sports, and tech. Using a central limit order book for instant execution, deep liquidity via mint/burn mechanics, and low Solana-native fees, it emphasizes capital efficiency and high-upside trading. Users can also earn points for trading and referrals, with deflationary tokenomics planned for $SPACE yields.

The project is trending after its December 15, 2025, $3M seed and strategic funding round led by Morningstar Ventures and Arctic Operators, coupled with strong community oversubscription on Echo and Curated. The announcement sparked thousands of engagements on X, drawing attention from influencers and degens eager for leveraged on-chain prediction markets, positioning Space as a high-potential play ahead of its Q1 2026 launch.
