Liquid, a crypto startup focused on aggregating decentralized perpetual futures exchanges, has secured $7.6 million in seed funding, led by Paradigm. The round also saw participation from General Catalyst and several angel investors, including notable figures like Ashwin Ramachandran and Eric Wu. The funding closed quickly, within five days, though details on post-money valuation weren't disclosed. Liquid aims to streamline the trading experience by allowing users to manage multiple positions from various exchanges within a single app. Founder Franklyn Wang, a former chief AI scientist at Two Sigma, emphasizes that Liquid seeks to provide retail traders with access to institutional-grade tools and infrastructure. The app has already facilitated over $500 million in trading volume shortly after launch and offers additional features like yield vaults and integrated reward systems. Liquid's team is based in New York City and is actively hiring across several roles.
