Cascade Launches 24/7 Neo-Brokerage with Perpetual Markets on Crypto, U.S. Stocks, and Private Assets
Cascade, a New York-based startup, has unveiled a 24/7 neo-brokerage platform that offers perpetual markets across cryptocurrencies, U.S. equities, and private-asset exposure. The platform operates using a single unified margin account that supports direct-to-bank USD deposits and withdrawals, enabling always-on trading and continuous settlement.
The initial offering includes more than 10 perpetual markets with plans to expand over time. Users can own equities, trade digital assets, borrow against their portfolio, and gain synthetic exposure within one account that settles continuously around the clock. Among the private assets accessible on the platform are shares in companies such as OpenAI, SpaceX, and Stripe.
Public access to Cascade's services is expected to begin in early 2026, with selected depositors already invited to participate. Cascade has raised $15 million from investors including Polychain Capital, Variant, Coinbase Ventures, and Archetype. This initiative introduces a crypto-native market structure approach that blends crypto infrastructure with consumer trading and nonstop settlement through a novel execution and settlement stack.
