Liquid Closes $18M Series Seed Funding Round Led by Neo and Left Lane Capital

Liquid has closed an $18 million Series Seed funding round, co-led by Neo and Left Lane Capital, with participation from Haun Ventures, K5 Global, SV Angel, AntiFund, and Sunflower Capital, in addition to existing investors Paradigm and General Catalyst. The platform aims to provide traders with real-time opportunities, offering access to over 500 markets including crypto, equities, commodities, FX, and pre-IPO assets in one place, with up to 200x leverage, all without surrendering custody of their assets.

Liquid is designed to meet the demands of a new generation of traders seeking to act on short-term opportunities and operate across multiple asset classes. The fundraise comes amid growing interest in alternative and non-traditional assets, alongside continued growth in digital asset trading. Liquid CEO and co-founder, Franklyn Wang, emphasized the need for continuous access to assets and the ability to act the moment opportunity strikes, reflecting the reality of global markets. Liquid has seen over $3 billion in trading volume across 40,000 users since its launch in August 2025.

The platform offers retail traders access to markets that have historically been difficult to reach, with features such as perpetual futures and an AI-powered chat assistant to simplify the trading experience. The fundraise enables Liquid to further enhance its infrastructure and product offerings to meet the increasing demand for 24/7 trading and accessibility to a wide range of asset classes. The platform is backed by Neo, Left Lane Capital, Haun Ventures, K5 Global, Paradigm, General Catalyst, SV Angel, AntiFund, and Sunflower Capital.
