    Catapult Trade has appointed Claire \u201cCookie\u201d Dang as VP of Growth and Co-Founder, the latest in a series of moves that have widened the trading platform\u2019s operations following an investment from KuCoin Ventures.<\/p>\n

    Dang held growth and business development roles at Binance, KuCoin, and Crypto.com before joining and will lead community growth and international expansion.<\/p>\n

    Her arrival has come alongside a broader push on the company\u2019s external presence.<\/p>\n

    Catapult Trade has launched a sponsored podcast, Terminally Online, featuring Web3 founders and operators, and has assembled a media network from acquired social channels with a combined reach of over 20 million followers.<\/p>\n

    The company has also run trading activity collaborations with the exchange Gate.<\/p>\n

    The expansion is being funded in part by the KuCoin Ventures investment, disclosed earlier this year; terms were not made public, and the company said its funding round remains open, with proceeds also directed toward regional expansion in markets underserved by conventional financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n

    Catapult Trade opened to the public in December 2025 after a pre-launch incentives campaign that built its first base of traders and creators.<\/p>\n

    The platform runs on algorithmically generated price charts rather than an orderbook or live price feed.<\/p>\n

    Each session\u2019s full price path is generated in advance and committed to a cryptographic hash published before trading begins, then revealed at settlement, letting users verify that the chart was never altered mid-session.<\/p>\n

    The company frames the design as a correction to conditions on memecoin launchpads, where hidden information has consistently worked against retail traders.<\/p>\n

    Since launch, the platform has recorded more than $1.5 billion in cumulative trading volume and over 80,000 monthly active users, with no paid acquisition behind the figures.<\/p>\n

    The platform\u2019s chart-generation engine has passed two independent security audits, most recently by Halborn and earlier by Hashlock, with the company committing to annual reviews.<\/p>\n

    A points system has run since launch, fueling speculation about a token distribution; the company has confirmed in community sessions that a token is planned, but has released no allocation or vesting details.<\/p>\n

    A second product, Catapult Hyper, is in development and would extend the platform from synthetic charts into multichain token launches built on LayerZero\u2019s omnichain fungible token standard.<\/p>\n

    The build-out reflects the standards now being applied to crypto products.<\/p>\n

    Where the previous cycle\u2019s flagships rested on token speculation, the current cohort, led by names such as Hyperliquid in perpetuals and Polymarket in prediction markets, is judged on user demand and revenue.<\/p>\n

    Catapult Trade is being scaled on the same terms, in a category, gamified short-session trading on verifiable charts, that has yet to see an incumbent at scale.<\/p>\n
