Key Takeaways:
NeoSoul raised $11 million in a pre-A round to expand NeoTrade, its agent-based trading platform that lets traders deploy autonomous AI agents for on-chain execution.
"AI is transitioning from producing information to engaging in autonomous economic activities, and trading is one of the earliest scenarios capable of forming a complete economic loop," Kaelan, co-founder of NeoSoul, said.
The round drew MH Ventures, Amber Group, ArkStream Capital, 0G Foundation, Kirin Capital, CatcherVC and New Oak International, spanning digital-asset firms, Web3 infrastructure backers and decentralized AI specialists. Kirin Capital, which holds a controlling stake in Vietnam Kirin Securities, will support NeoSoul's expansion into Vietnam and Southeast Asia. As of Aug. 20, NeoSoul ranks third on DappBay's AI Infrastructure 30-day leaderboard and is the highest-ranked AI agent commercialization infrastructure on the list, built on BNB Chain and 0G.
The capital will deepen NeoTrade's product stack, strengthen trading infrastructure and expand the global ecosystem, as investors back the shift from AI as an analysis tool to autonomous execution with controlled fund management. NeoSoul plans to build infrastructure supporting large-scale participation of AI agents in economic activity, with trading serving as the entry point.
The funding follows the launch of NeoTrade, where traders configure AI agents to make autonomous trading decisions while keeping capital controls and fund security intact. Investors in the round said fund utilization, trade execution and risk control are emerging as new infrastructure needs as AI agents begin participating in real economic activity.
ArkStream Capital, which manages assets exceeding $100 million and counts Aave, Filecoin and Ethena among a portfolio of more than 100 projects, joined the round alongside Amber Group, the Nasdaq-listed parent of Amber International Holding. The syndicate's mix of Asian and North American capital reflects growing institutional interest in AI-agent infrastructure across digital-asset markets.
The raise comes as AI agents move from auxiliary analysis to independent execution, with the industry focused on keeping agent autonomy while ensuring controlled and secure fund management. NeoSoul's placement on BNB Chain and 0G, a decentralized AI network, ties the platform to two of the larger AI-focused infrastructure stacks in Web3.
NeoSoul did not disclose the valuation for the round.
