What to know:

  • Cascade has introduced a 24/7 brokerage-style app for perpetual markets spanning crypto, U.S. equities and private-asset exposure.
  • The firm is pitching a single, unified margin account with direct-to-bank U.S. dollar capability for deposits and withdrawals.
  • The company has raised $15 million from investors including Polychain Capital, Variant and Coinbase Ventures.

Cascade, a New York-based startup, introduced what it called the first 24/7 neo-brokerage built around a unified margin account for perpetual markets tied to cryptocurrencies, major U.S. stocks and private companies such as OpenAI, SpaceX and Stripe.

The platform is designed to resemble a modern retail brokerage while running on a new execution and settlement stack built for always-on trading, the company said in a press release Tuesday. Selected depositors already have access by invitation, and public access is expected to open in early 2026.

The launch comes as crypto-native market structure is creeping into consumer trading, with startups arguing that traditional brokerage plumbing was built for market hours and batch settlement. Cascade is leaning into that thesis, and said crypto infrastructure enables software-based settlement and more transparent collateral management that could support continuous markets.

“Our goal is to bring the speed and clarity of fintech trading to the world of perpetual markets,” said Kevin, a co-founder of Cascade who declined to give his family name, in the release.

Users will be able to move U.S. dollars in and out directly with their banks, trade from a single account and keep positions open around the clock, according to the announcement.

Cascade said it will debut with more than 10 perpetual markets and expand the lineup over time.

The platform aims to offer a single account where users can "own equities, trade digital assets, borrow against your portfolio and access synthetic exposure within a single account that settles continuously and is available 24/7," Kevin said.

Cascade has raised $15 million to date from investors including Polychain Capital, Variant, Coinbase Ventures and Archetype, among others.

“I Wasted 8 Years in Crypto”: A Builder’s Exit Note Goes Viral Across Asia

The post “I Wasted 8 Years in Crypto”: A Builder’s Exit Note Goes Viral Across Asia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “I am NOT building a new financial system. I built a casino.”This stark admission from Ken Chan, former co-founder of derivatives protocol Aevo, has been reverberating across Asian crypto communities this week. What began as a post on X has now crossed linguistic borders, been introduced to Chinese communities by local news media, and been widely shared among Korean traders, accumulating millions of views along the way. Sponsored Sponsored From Ayn Rand to Disillusionment: A Libertarian’s Journey Through Crypto Chan’s confession is not merely a critique—it is the unraveling of a personal ideology. He describes himself as a “starry-eyed libertarian” who donated to Gary Johnson’s 2016 presidential campaign after being radicalized by Ayn Rand’s novels. The cypherpunk ethos of Bitcoin spoke directly to this worldview. “Being able to walk across the border with a billion dollars in your head is and always will be a powerful idea to me,” he writes. Yet eight years of industry experience eroded that idealism. Chan recounts how the Layer 1 wars—the flood of capital into Aptos, Sui, Sei, ICP, and countless others—produced no meaningful progress toward a new financial system. Instead, it “literally torched everyone’s money” in pursuit of becoming the next Solana. His verdict is unsparing: “We do not need to build the Casino on Mars.” According to his LinkedIn profile, Chan departed Aevo in May this year. His personal website indicates he is now working on KENSAT, a personal satellite project. It is scheduled to launch aboard a Falcon 9 in June 2026. His confession arrives six months after his departure. It comes as AEVO token trades at roughly $45 million in fully diluted market cap—down approximately 99% from its peak. Chan’s central metaphor—that crypto has become “the biggest, online, multi-player 24/7 casino our generation has ever concocted”—cuts through technical complexity with…

How A 130-Year-Old Course Reimagined The Golf Experience

How A 130-Year-Old Course Reimagined The Golf Experience

The post How A 130-Year-Old Course Reimagined The Golf Experience appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. An aerial view of Storm King Golf Club, a reimagined golf experience that’s scheduled to open in 2026. Erik Matuszewski In the rolling hills of New York’s Hudson Valley, just 56 miles from Manhattan and minutes from West Point, a revolutionary new golf course is reimagining how golf can be played, experienced, and shared. Named after the nearby mountain that overlooks the property, Storm King Golf Club packs more variety and possibility in 63 acres than many courses four times its size, offering 40 distinct hole configurations, five different 9-hole routing options, and a 19-hole par 3 layout. “The idea was to create a unique place where people could experience golf in a way that’s fun and interesting to them,” said founder David Gang, a software executive who purchased the course about five years ago with a vision to reimagine golf and challenge convention along the way. Storm King is a far cry from the original facility that opened in 1894; today, it’s a wild looking, choose-your-own-adventure playground where golfers can craft their journey based on skill level, mood, or simple curiosity about what lies around the next bend. The facility boasts 12 green complexes totaling 225,000 square feet of putting surface, nearly four times that of an iconic property like Pebble Beach Golf Links, which has 63,000 square feet across all 18 holes. “Our brains have been wired for golf in a very traditional way forever,” says Gang, an avid golfer who co-founded Brightspot, a leading content management system. There are unusual design shapes and unique routing options at Storm King, which was built to focus on versatility, playability and sustainability. Erik Matuszewski “We think about 9 holes, 18 holes, par 3s, par 4s, and par 5s. They’re very set in our minds,” he added. “So, when you come…
