💰 RootData Funding Report (4/23) - BitradeX @Bitradexen has raised £12M (~$15M USD) in a Series A round, led by Bain Capital Ventures—one of the most respected names in global venture capital. This round marks a major milestone for BitradeX as it scales its AI-native crypto trading platform and positions itself as a foundational infrastructure provider for next-generation algorithmic finance. As the venture arm of Bain Capital, Bain Capital Ventures (BCV) brings more than just capital. It offers institutional expertise, global reach, and a deep track record of backing transformative fintech and AI infrastructure companies. Their lead in this round underscores confidence in BitradeX’s ARK Trading Model—a proprietary dual-layer AI architecture combining self-developed hundred-billion parameter models with DeepSeek’s trillion-level AI capabilities. BitradeX is not just another exchange—it’s aiming to build “Strategy-as-a-Service” infrastructure with sub-second latency, macro-onchain integration, and a 90%+ short-term trend prediction rate. This makes it particularly relevant for institutional players seeking programmable, automated, and protected exposure to digital assets. BCV’s involvement enhances BitradeX’s positioning with compliance-conscious institutions, especially given its dual regulatory licenses (UK FCA & US MSB) and $20M contingency reserve. The funding will support the launch of AI Strategy Labs in London, Hong Kong, and Singapore—transforming BitradeX into a modular AI trading hub for both developers and institutions. The inclusion of innovations like the AI-powered Protection Pool (seeded with 100 BTC) also reflects a forward-looking approach to capital shielding, something that could gain adoption amid growing concerns around exchange risk and automated trading failures. 💡 In summary, with world-class AI architecture, regulatory compliance, and top-tier institutional backing, BitradeX is carving out a unique niche at the intersection of AI, crypto, and automated strategy infrastructure. Bain Capital’s support strengthens its ambition to lead the emerging category of AI-native trading platforms in a globally compliant and modular form.
