Paradigm-backed Liquid raises $18 million in new funding to expand its 24/7 multi-asset trading platform

Liquid, a multi-asset trading platform that began as a perpetual futures decentralized exchange aggregator, has successfully raised $18 million in a Series Seed funding round. The round was co-led by Left Lane Capital and Neo, with participation from notable investors including Paradigm, General Catalyst, and Haun Ventures. This new funding brings Liquid's total raised to $25.6 million, following a previous $7.6 million seed round led by Paradigm. The funds will be used to expand the platform's capabilities, which offers non-custodial trading across crypto and traditional markets like equities, commodities, and foreign exchange, alongside AI-driven tools and up to 200x leverage. Liquid aims to democratize market access for retail traders, providing them with sophisticated tools previously available only to professional investors. The company has seen over $3 billion in trading volume from approximately 40,000 users since launching its platform last August and plans to grow through partnerships.
