Nova Markets (@novadotmarkets) — Twitter Score 31 out of 1000

Nova Markets is a permissionless perpetual-contract and prediction-market infrastructure project that enables listing of pre-IPO company perpetuals, commodities, and foreign-equity indices through Hyperliquid's HIP-3 framework. Nova Markets's Twitter Score is 31 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #31,682 (top 10%) among 486,860 tracked accounts.

Nova Markets was founded by Tiago Barbosa and is also affiliated with Kinetiq. Its model uses actual trading activity to validate demand before a market graduates to a full central-limit-order-book listing, a design intended to filter genuine interest from noise before committing deeper liquidity infrastructure.

Nova Markets operates the NLP market-making vault, where deposited USDC supports market making across its HIP-3 and HIP-4 markets and depositors receive a share of generated revenue. According to Nova's official site, idle NLP capital is routed into Felix Finance's Morpho vaults, while the vault infrastructure itself relies on Lagoon Finance and Fordefi.

Nova Markets announced a funding round backed by Wintermute Ventures, Robot Ventures, Big Brain Holdings, Cumberland, GSR, Greenfield Capital, Hash3, Bodhi Ventures, and Kairos Research; the amount was not disclosed. Following the announcement, Dragonfly Capital general partner Tom Schmidt publicly alleged that Nova Markets had misrepresented aspects of the funding announcement and characterized the team as scammers, later suggesting most named investors reflected legacy relationships rather than new capital, and subsequently apologized to investors including Robot Ventures and Wintermute. These remained public allegations and were not established by any judicial or regulatory finding. Founder Tiago Barbosa disputed Schmidt's account and denied separate third-party allegations that the project was funded using capital redeployed from his earlier Valhalla project; those underlying allegations were likewise not established as fact.

Nova Markets has accumulated 3,282 followers as of September 2026 and 312 posts since 2026. The account has been mentioned by 109 accounts, with 141 total mentions.
