Astaria announces launch of 100x leveraged trading on Polymarket, introducing high-risk prediction market exposure with waitlist now open ahead of official rollout

Polymargin already showed there is demand for leverage on Polymarket, but jumping from 20x to 100x means a 0.5-cent twitch on a 50c market can nuke 1% margin. Injective only gave its Polymarket-linked election perps 3x because mark-price and settlement risk get ugly fast, and Astaria's own "hybrid contract" design puts that exact gap in the critical path. Best case this pulls real market makers into the deep Polygon books; worst case the long-tail markets become straight liquidation farms with a prediction-market wrapper.
