Liquid posts $18M seed round while directing users to the FTX Claims portal

Liquid describes itself as a platform building the future of trading, and it has announced an $18 million seed round. The funding was disclosed on April 28, 2026. No lead investors were named in the source materials.

What makes the announcement unusual is the context on the company’s own website. Liquid’s site identifies the business as Liquid (Quoine Pte. Ltd.) and says customer accounts are now fully managed through the FTX Claims portal. Visitors are instructed to go to claims.ftx.com, log in, and choose "Liquid" from a dropdown menu. In other words, the current public-facing site is not presenting a product launch or expansion message; it is primarily serving as a notice about account management through the claims portal.

The source offers only a limited picture of the financing itself. The round is identified as seed, and the amount is $18 million, but the company does not disclose what the money will be used for. There are also no details on valuation, hiring plans, product roadmap, or geographic expansion in the provided materials.

Competitive positioning is similarly sparse. Beyond Liquid’s own description of itself as a trading platform, the source does not outline how it compares with other companies or where it sits in the market. Instead, the clearest operational detail available from the website is the tie to the FTX Claims portal for customer accounts.

So the core facts are straightforward: Liquid has announced an $18 million seed financing, with no lead investors disclosed, while its website currently directs users to a claims-management process rather than detailing a broader business push.
