EDGE Markets has expanded its relationship with infrastructure provider zerohash to let eligible EDGE Boost customers fund their accounts around the clock with stablecoins and other digital assets, reducing reliance on bank-transfer schedules for a product built around prediction-market payments.
The integration allows authorized assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins, to be converted into U.S. dollars and added to an EDGE Boost account in real time, according to the companies. Customers can connect EDGE Boost wallets with external crypto platforms including Coinbase, Gemini and Robinhood.
The rollout builds on an earlier integration announced in May 2026, when EDGE Markets and zerohash introduced crypto-to-fiat conversion for EDGE Boost users. The latest expansion moves the relationship from conversion capability into direct account funding, giving eligible customers a route to turn onchain balances into dollars available within the EDGE system at any time of day.
Funding for a payment product tied to prediction markets
EDGE Markets describes EDGE Boost as a betting-only debit-card account designed for use on prediction-market platforms. The company launched EDGE Boost in 2025 and said the product has processed more than $2 billion in transactions.
In June, EDGE Markets introduced EDGE Connect, a real-time payment rail aimed at prediction markets. Adding stablecoin-based funding gives that payment infrastructure a potentially faster on-ramp for customers who already hold digital assets, particularly during evenings, weekends and holidays when conventional bank transfers can take longer to settle.
The design still depends on customer eligibility, supported assets and account terms. EDGE Markets said limits and other restrictions are set through its Terms of Service and agreements connected to Cross River Bank.
Customers using the feature can move assets held on connected crypto platforms into an EDGE Boost wallet, where zerohash’s infrastructure handles the conversion of authorized cryptocurrency into dollars. The companies did not provide transaction-fee details or individual funding limits in the announcement.
The arrangement places stablecoins alongside traditional payment methods rather than replacing the banking system entirely. Once funds are converted and credited to the eligible account, the EDGE Boost product operates through U.S. banking and card-payment rails.
Different protections apply to deposits and crypto conversion
EDGE Markets said EDGE Boost deposit accounts are held at Cross River Bank, Member FDIC, and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. up to the standard $250,000 limit per depositor, subject to applicable rules.
The company also said consumer accounts enrolled in the applicable IntraFi Network Deposits program may qualify for up to $10 million in aggregate FDIC coverage. That additional coverage would be provided by distributing deposits across participating banks in the network, rather than by expanding the insurance limit at a single bank.
The EDGE Boost Visa Debit Card is issued by Cross River Bank under a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc., EDGE Markets said. The card is not available to all residents of U.S. territories.
Those protections do not apply in the same way to assets handled by zerohash before conversion. zerohash said its accounts are not subject to FDIC or Securities Investor Protection Corp. coverage. The distinction means a customer’s legal and insurance position can change as crypto is converted and moved into a bank-held dollar deposit account.
zerohash said it operates as a registered Money Services Business in the United States and is active in 51 U.S. jurisdictions, while also maintaining registrations in the European Union and Australia. It added that its services may be unavailable in some jurisdictions.
The company said zerohash llc, NMLS ID #1699379, is licensed as a money transmitter. zerohash llc and zerohash liquidity services llc hold New York licenses for virtual currency business activity from the New York State Department of Financial Services, according to the company.
zerohash also said it is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Those disclosures are relevant for customers assessing a service that combines crypto conversion infrastructure with bank-based account funding.
Stablecoins become a settlement layer for digital platforms
The product launch reflects a practical use case for stablecoins: moving value between crypto accounts and a dollar-based spending or payment account without waiting for a bank transfer window. Prediction markets, where contracts can react quickly to elections, economic reports and live events, have a particular incentive to make funding available outside regular banking hours.
Real-time access does not eliminate the risks associated with rapidly changing markets or with transferring digital assets. Bitcoin and Ethereum can move sharply in price before conversion, while stablecoin users remain exposed to the operational and issuer risks associated with the asset they choose. Customers also need to confirm which assets zerohash authorizes for conversion and whether their external platform supports the required transfer path.
For EDGE Markets, the integration extends its payment stack beyond card accounts and banking deposits into onchain funding. For zerohash, it places its conversion service inside a consumer-facing product whose users may need dollar balances available without the delays associated with standard ACH transfers.
The result is a more continuous funding mechanism for eligible EDGE Boost accounts, while keeping the final dollar balances within the Cross River Bank account structure described by EDGE Markets.
