Hellotrade raises $4.6 million seed led by Dragonfly to build a MegaETH‑powered mobile trading app.
Hellotrade announced the completion of a $4.6 million seed round led by Dragonfly Capital and closed in under a week, backing the blockchain‑powered trading platform founded by former Blackrock crypto directors Wyatt Raich and Kevin Tang. The founders say Hellotrade will deliver mobile‑first leveraged exposure to stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), commodities and crypto using MegaETH’s high‑throughput infrastructure without wallet setup or gas fees.
The product aims to remove geographic and capital barriers to leveraged trading by offering 24/7 access to real‑world assets (RWAs) via perpetual futures and an institutional security posture informed by the founders’ Blackrock experience; launch timing, regional availability, and regulatory compliance will follow market entries and local rules. Kevin Tang says the platform applies crypto‑derivatives “ethos” to equities to broaden access, and Hellotrade plans iOS and Android rollouts with advisor support from industry figures including Arthur Hayes and others.
