Overview
- Liquid, which disclosed the round Tuesday, said Neo and Left Lane co-led the $18 million raise with support from Haun Ventures, K5 Global, SV Angel, AntiFund, Sunflower Capital, Paradigm, and General Catalyst.
- The app offers non-custodial access to more than 500 markets across crypto, stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, and pre-IPO shares on iOS, Android, and desktop.
- Users can tap up to 200x leverage on selected instruments and trade derivatives such as perpetual futures, which are contracts that do not expire, while keeping control of their own assets.
- Since launching in August 2025, the company reports more than $3 billion in trading volume and about 40,000 users, and it plans selective hiring in product and engineering.
- The financing, structured as equity and closed in January, backs Liquid’s push to build a general-purpose leveraged exchange as incumbents like Coinbase and Robinhood move beyond single-asset offerings.
