TurboFlow has closed a $6M seed round led by Pantera Capital to build a trading platform combining prediction markets and perpetual futures, specifically targeting the Asia-Pacific region. The raise positions the startup as a would-be regional competitor to Western prediction market giants at a time when derivatives trading volumes across crypto are hitting record levels.
The pitch is straightforward: Asian traders want the same products that Kalshi and Polymarket offer, but with infrastructure designed for their regulatory environments and trading preferences.
What TurboFlow is building
The platform runs on a custom Layer-1 blockchain and offers two core products: prediction markets and perpetual futures. Both sit under a single trading interface, which is a deliberate design choice to capture users who want event-based speculation alongside traditional leverage trading.
The leverage on offer is aggressive. TurboFlow supports up to 1,000x leverage on its perpetual futures, a number that will raise eyebrows even among seasoned derivatives traders. For context, most major centralized exchanges cap leverage at 100x to 125x, and many DeFi protocols stay well below that threshold.
