Melee Secures $3.5M Funding to Launch Revolutionary ’Viral Prediction Markets’ That Eliminate Gatekeepers

Prediction markets just got a viral upgrade—and traditional finance isn't ready.

Cutting Out the Middlemen

Melee's platform bypasses centralized control, letting users bet on everything from election outcomes to meme stock movements without asking permission. The $3.5 million war chest fuels a direct assault on legacy prediction markets that still operate like dial-up internet in a 5G world.

Democratizing Speculation

Built on blockchain rails, these markets tap into collective intelligence while sidestepping the usual financial gatekeepers. No more waiting for approval from institutions that still think fax machines are cutting-edge technology.

The timing couldn't be more perfect—while traditional finance debates whether AI is a fad, Melee's building markets that actually understand how virality works in 2025.

Prediction markets might finally become what Wall Street promised but never delivered: actually efficient.
