Base Protocol Limitless Secures $4M from Coinbase Ventures & Arthur Hayes—Bullish Momentum Builds

Another crypto player just got a golden ticket. Base protocol Limitless—a rising star in the DeFi stack—just locked in $4 million from heavyweights Coinbase Ventures and ex-BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes. Money talks, but in crypto, it usually screams 'hype cycle.'

Why this matters: When Coinbase's investment arm and a derivatives OG like Hayes back a project, the market pays attention. Limitless is betting big on Base's ecosystem—and these funds suggest they're playing the long game (or at least the next bull run).

The cynical take: $4M barely covers a week's worth of influencer shilling these days—but hey, at least it's not another memecoin.

Limitless achieves over $250 million in volume

The investor interest came partially due to significant engagement with the Limitless platform. So far, investors have made $250 million in bets on the platform. Part of the reason for this, according to Limitless, is the focus on ease of use and user experience. For this reason, Limitless also released a new mobile-first trading experience.

“The future of trading is easy, fast, and powered by an army of token holders. We’re excited to bring this vision to reality,” said CJ Hetherington, CEO at Limitless Labs.

Limitless is a prediction market, enabling users to bet on short-term price movements in crypto. This includes bets on prices in minutes, hours, or days. According to the firm, this creates a new, user-friendly way to trade in the crypto market.
