Catapult Trade, a Solana-based gamified memecoin launch and synthetic leverage trading platform, has raised roughly $6.6 million across four funding rounds ahead of its planned token generation event, according to a PANews report. The company disclosed KuCoin Ventures, Oddiyana Ventures and Venture Vault VC as investors, alongside the founders of LIS Skins and Trady and a number of other individual backers and angels.
How the Rounds Broke Down
Coverage from crypto.news details the round structure: a Private round brought in $2.1 million from founders of other consumer trading businesses, the KOL round added $400,000 from more than 30 tier-one traders and analysts, and the Early Public round closed at $3.6 million, rounding out the total alongside an initial Seed raise. Catapult says its platform has already processed more than $6 billion in cumulative trading volume and generated $3.3 million in net revenue, positioning the raise as growth capital for an already-live product rather than pre-launch seed funding for an unproven concept.
What Catapult Trade Offers
The platform combines gamified memecoin launch mechanics with synthetic leverage trading and provably fair technology, aiming to merge the speed and virality of Solana memecoin launches with structured trading tools more typical of derivatives platforms. That positioning places it in direct competition with a growing field of Solana-native trading terminals and launch platforms racing for retail order flow as memecoin activity has remained a persistent driver of on-chain volume through 2026.

Why the Backer List Matters
Naming KuCoin Ventures and other institutional backers ahead of a token launch is a standard credibility signal in a sector where anonymous or thinly-capitalized launch platforms have repeatedly been linked to rug pulls and abandoned projects. A $6 billion volume claim paired with disclosed, named investors gives Catapult a stronger evidentiary basis than most pre-TGE platforms typically offer, though the company has not yet published full tokenomics or the complete investor list, which it says will arrive two weeks before the token generation event.
Forward Look
Watch for Catapult's full backer disclosure and tokenomics details in the weeks before its targeted fall 2026 TGE, along with confirmation of which blockchains will host PULT listings and liquidity, which the company has said will span multiple chains.
