HelloTrade Raises $4.6M to Bring Global Markets On-Chain

HelloTrade is a blockchain-powered trading platform built to open global financial markets to retail investors—especially in regions where access to U.S. stocks, ETFs, and leveraged trading is limited. Founded in 2025 by former BlackRock digital assets leaders Wyatt Raich and Kevin Tang—who helped launch BlackRock’s flagship crypto ETFs (IBIT, ETHA, BUIDL) with over $100B AUM—the project exited stealth on November 20–21. Their mission is simple: apply institutional-grade standards to on-chain trading while removing barriers like geographic limits, high minimums, and off-hours markets that keep billions locked out.

The platform runs on MegaETH, an ultra-fast Ethereum L2 offering 100,000 TPS and sub-10ms block times, enabling CEX-level speed with full self-custody and Ethereum security. HelloTrade is mobile-first, skips crypto friction (no wallets, no gas fees), and already has a fast-growing waitlist ahead of its late-2025 launch. The project is trending after raising a $4.6M seed round led by Dragonfly Capital, positioning it to deliver 24/7 trading of stocks, ETFs, and crypto with up to 10x leverage for users in markets like Vietnam and Indonesia.

Nado — Kraken-Backed CLOB DEX Making Noise After Alpha Launch

Nado is a decentralized exchange built around a full Central Limit Order Book (CLOB), combining spot, margin, and perpetual futures trading in one place. It delivers fast execution, unified margin, and deep liquidity while keeping everything self-custodial. The platform runs on Ink, an Ethereum Layer-2 backed by Kraken, giving it the low-latency performance needed for pro-level on-chain trading. Its branding leans into the tornado theme—🌪️ and all—under the slogan “Welcome to the perfect storm.”

The team includes former Kraken engineers, bringing CEX-grade matching tech to a DeFi environment. As a project “unleashed by Kraken,” it benefits from strong credibility and tight integration with the Ink ($INK) ecosystem on the Optimism Superchain.

Nado’s buzz spiked on November 20, 2025 after its alpha launch announcement on X, quickly pulling in strong engagement and putting the new DEX on the CT radar. 

Fact Machine — Early-Stage Opinion Market Riding the Prediction Boom

Fact Machine is an early-stage Web3 project building “opinion markets”—a decentralized platform where users can trade and speculate on public sentiment in real time. It sits at the intersection of prediction markets and social tokens, aiming to become infrastructure for the rapidly growing on-chain prediction economy. The team brands it simply as “opinion markets” and positions the product as venture-backed MM (market-making) infrastructure for this sector.

The project is trending in late November 2025 as prediction markets explode, hitting $3.7B in monthly volume across platforms like Polymarket and upstart competitors such as Opinion. With TradFi players like ICE, Coinbase, and CME circling the space, attention is surging.

Caesar Data — AI Research Platform Goes On-Chain

Caesar Data is a crypto-native AI research platform delivering verifiable, citation-backed analysis on blockchain, DeFi, tokenomics, and AI topics. Founded by Mark McKenzie (ex-Spark/Megapont), it combines real-time on-chain and off-chain data with transparent reasoning, positioning itself as the “deep research layer” for traders, developers, and autonomous agents. The $CAESAR token gates premium features and API access. The project has gained traction via partnerships with Messari, deployment on Base, and a strong focus on decentralized AI governance through DAISy.

As of November 20–21, 2025, Caesar surged in visibility after two major announcements: (1) it became the first AI company to tokenize its US equity on-chain via Centrifuge, granting $CAESAR holders real shareholder rights and effectively turning the token into company ownership; (2) it launched verifiable AI agents on Warden Protocol across 100+ chains. These moves tapped directly into the hottest narratives in crypto—DeFAI, RWAs, and “Internet Capital Markets”—sparking viral threads, KOL hype, and speculation of a significant re-rating from its ~$11M market cap.
