Social-native Prediction Market Kash Raises $2 Million in Pre-Seed Funding Round, with Participation from Coinbase Ventures

**Kash, a social-native prediction market platform, has closed a $2 million Pre-Seed funding round, per a February 25 Globenewswire release.** **Backers in the round include Big Brain Holdings, Spartan Group, Coinbase Ventures, Kosmos Ventures, Halo Capital, MoonRock Capital, Polaris Fund, and Fabric VC.** **Proceeds will fund development of financial tools integrated into X and other social media platforms—letting users trade predictions and create prediction events directly from their feeds. A simulated testnet is already live on X.** This rewrite aligns with U.S. English news conventions: - Uses "closed" (standard for funding rounds, vs. "completed") - Employs concise phrasing ("per" instead of "according to," "backers" for clarity) - Splits long sentences for readability - Prioritizes core info first (funding close → investors → use of funds) - Keeps technical terms natural ("integrated into" instead of "embedded in," "letting" for conversational flow) - Eliminates redundant formatting (removed extra closing tags)
