One of the Hottest Sectors in Finance Has a Problem It Cannot Outgrow. One Company Has Been Appointed to Build a Solution

Disseminated on behalf of Intellistake Technologies Corp.
Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) has been appointed developer of Gravity, a modular liquidity and execution engine designed for prediction markets. Gravity is being developed to help keep prediction markets functional, liquid, and tradable during periods of high volume and directional pressure.

Prediction markets let people trade real money on the outcomes of real world events. Who wins the Super Bowl. Whether the Federal Reserve raises interest rates. The sector grew from approximately US$16 billion in trading volume in 2024 to approximately US$64 billion in 2025, with monthly volumes surpassing US$20 billion by January 2026.

The biggest Names in finance Are moving in

Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) | $2 Billion Investment

The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange has taken a $2 billion stake in prediction markets platform Polymarket (the world's largest prediction market platform).4,5 

CME Group | World's Largest Derivatives Exchange

Partnered with FanDuel to launch FanDuel Predicts, bringing regulated prediction contracts to FanDuel's U.S. retail base.6 

Robinhood | Fastest Growing Product

DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics | Sports & Entertainment

All three major sportsbook operators have launched or announced prediction market platforms.3

The problem

The money is pouring in. The plumbing has not kept pace.

Sports event contracts have been described as "fueling the growth" of prediction markets.3 But underneath all of this growth is a compelling structural problem: when too many people rush to one side of a market, the other side dries up. Prices become unreliable. Trades fail to execute. Even Polymarket, the largest platform in the world, faces these conditions in less popular markets. A January 2026 study by Crisil Coalition Greenwich (part of S&P Global) confirmed what the industry already knows: limited liquidity is a key obstacle to adoption at scale.8

The Solution

Gravity is being built by Intellistake under a C$1,573,000 development agreement (with payments to be received in stages) with Prospect Markets Inc. (TSXV: MKT), a publicly traded prediction market platform with licensed real time data coverage across the NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, and international football competitions including the English Premier League and the World Cup. Upon completion, Prospect Markets is expected to integrate Gravity directly into its platform.

Rebalances Under Pressure

When everyone rushes to one side, Gravity is designed to pull liquidity back to the other, keeping both sides tradable.

Absorbs Sudden Rushes

When breaking news triggers a flood of one way trading, Gravity is designed to help keep markets functional rather than seizing up.

Launches Markets Faster

New markets often sit empty. Gravity is designed to set an opening price and build depth and activity from day one. 

C$1,573,000 Contract | Prospect Markets (TSXV: MKT)

Development agreement signed March 2, 2026. The total consideration payable for the first three stages (A, B and C) is US$550,000. After the end of Stage C, the 24-month license will commence at a rate of US$25,000 per month for the subsequent 24 months for a total of US$600,000. Total development costs are expected to be US$300,000. 

There is a phased development roadmap for Gravity, beginning with Stage A (Proof of Concept, approximately four weeks). Development will progress through subsequent stages (Stage B - MVP, approximately four to six weeks after Stage A), and culminating in a Stage C - full production release (approximately 10 weeks after Stage B), at which point Prospect Markets will integrate Gravity directly into its platform.

Disclaimer

Completion of the acquisition of Singularity Venture Hub (SVH) remains subject to completion of the satisfaction of all conditions set out in the definitive agreement, including the completion of the audit of SVH.

Intellistake recently commenced operating its blockchain business and is at an early stage of development. Intellistake is entering this space by acquiring and operating blockchain validator hardware that supports AI networks and investing in AI-related digital tokens to primarily operate validator hardware.

Intellistake plans to create custom AI software systems called “AI Agents” for businesses. These are intelligent software programs that can perform specific tasks automatically. For example, an AI Agent might help a travel company by automatically booking flights and hotels when a customer provides their preferences and budget. The Agent would search available options, compare prices, and make reservations without human intervention. The company intends to deliver these solutions either as one-time projects or ongoing subscription services. Revenue comes from implementation fees and monthly subscription payments. The Company has not yet developed these AI Agents and does not presently have any customers.

Intellistake is just commencing operations. It is targeting significant growth but its business is subject to several risks related to general business, economic and social uncertainties; the sufficiency of cash to meet liquidity needs; legislative, political and competitive developments; the inherent risks involved in the digital currency and general securities markets; the volatility of digital currency prices and the additional risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s filings with applicable securities regulators. Intellistake has not yet developed or commercialized its AI solutions.
