## About

Based in the US, Hypersports, Inc. d.b.a., Liquid offers a mobile platform that facilitates cryptocurrency trading with advanced features, including high leverage options, aimed at enhancing the trading experience for both retail and institutional users. Liquid is a cryptocurrency trading platform founded by CEO Franklyn Wang in 2025 and headquartered in New York, US. In April 2026, Liquid raised USD 18 million in series A funding co-led by Neo Ventures and Left Lane Capital, with participation from Haun Ventures, K5 Global, SV Angel, Antifund Investment Fund, LLC, Sunflower Capita, Paradigm, and General Catalyst Partners.

Liquid generates revenue primarily through transaction fees, which are competitive with industry standards. Its low transaction fees encourage higher trading volumes, benefiting both individual users and institutional clients. The platform's leverage offerings attract traders, increasing transaction frequency and overall engagement.

The company will use the April 2026 funding to further develop a unified trading platform covering crypto and traditional asset classes.
