Liquid raised $18 million in Series Seed funding to expand its multi-asset trading platform across crypto and traditional markets. The round supports its plan to combine crypto, stocks, commodities, FX, and pre-IPO exposure in one app. The platform also targets traders who want fast execution, leverage, and non-custodial access.

Liquid Secures Fresh Funding

Liquid said Neo and Left Lane Capital co-led the funding round. Haun Ventures, K5 Global, SV Angel, AntiFund, and Sunflower Capital also joined the raise. Existing backers Paradigm and General Catalyst also participated in the new round.

The latest funding brings Liquid’s total capital raised to $25.6 million. The company earlier raised $7.6 million in a seed round led by Paradigm. Liquid structured the latest round as equity, while valuation details remain undisclosed.

Liquid started raising the round in late November and secured commitments in early December. The company formally closed the round in January. No new board, advisory, or observer seats came with the funding.

Platform Targets Multi-Asset Traders

Liquid offers a non-custodial trading platform across more than 500 markets. Users can trade crypto, equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and pre-IPO assets. The platform supports access through iOS, Android, and desktop.

The company built Liquid for traders who move across asset classes during fast market cycles. Traditional platforms often split access across brokers, exchanges, and products. However, Liquid brings several trading markets into one interface.

The platform also offers up to 200x leverage through selected instruments. Users can express long and short views through products such as perpetual futures. Besides, Liquid keeps custody with users instead of requiring asset surrender.

AI Tools Support Faster Trading

Liquid launched in August 2025 and has reported more than $3 billion in trading volume. The company said about 40,000 users have used the platform since launch. This growth supports its push into broader retail trading access.

The platform includes an AI-powered chat assistant for market research and trade execution. The tool helps users review market moves, surface insights, and act faster. Moreover, Liquid wants to bring professional-style tools to everyday traders.

Liquid also continues to support its original perpetual DEX aggregation features. Its yield vaults and point-based reward systems remain part of the platform. The New York-based company has 15 employees and plans selective hiring in product and engineering.
