# ANT Completes Series A Financing: Moving Forward in Transformation Today, ANT has completed a multi-million dollar Series A financing, thanks to the trust and support from lead investors Adrian Cheng and Folkman Venture. As a serial entrepreneur, I understand how difficult it is to secure investment in the current environment. Although this financing round is not as large as my previous projects during the golden age of the Chinese internet, it carries a deeper significance—we are participating in building the future of digital asset trading. ## Opportunities We See **Digital assets are reshaping the global financial landscape.** As we move from a $30 trillion to a $30 trillion market cap, the way we trade is undergoing fundamental changes: - **Trend towards compliance**: Trading is gradually shifting from offshore to compliant, but the variety of compliant exchanges is limited. - **Rise of on-chain trading**: DEX and liquidity mining are making on-chain self-trading a reality. - **Stablecoins becoming core**: Stablecoins like USDT are becoming the primary medium of exchange. Notably, the U.S. "Genius Act" has clarified the payment status of dollar stablecoins. Currently, USDT has a market cap of $267 billion, while the dollar M2 reaches $21 trillion. **We believe that within the next 8 years, the market cap of stablecoins will grow to several trillion dollars, with users expanding from the current 100-200 million to over 1 billion.** ## ANT's Solutions In the face of this enormous opportunity, we have found significant differences between the needs of Chinese-speaking users and those of overseas users. Overseas products like Axiom and Photon focus on professional trading on the web, but Chinese-speaking users need **convenience**. ### Our Product Advantages: **Web:** - Professional trading tools, performance comparable to Axiom. - Data filling speed on par with Nova and Axiom. **Mobile:** - Industry-leading mobile trading experience (commonly lacking in overseas competitors). - Localized user interface and trading process. - Secure private key management solutions. ### Core Features: - **Smart Routing Aggregation**: Directly purchase illiquid assets using USDT. - **Cross-chain Trading**: Seamlessly connect different blockchain ecosystems. - **One-stop Service**: Wallet + Trading + Asset Management. **Example:** If a user holds USDT and wants to purchase TRUMP tokens, we can complete the transaction with one click through the SOL/USDT (with $100 million liquidity) and TRUMP/SOL (with $10 million liquidity) pools. ## Our Progress After several months of hard development, we have: - ✅ Established a stable product development team. - ✅ Found a clear user growth path. - ✅ Completed core feature development and testing. - ✅ Received positive feedback from early users. ## Looking Ahead This round of financing will help us: 1. **Accelerate product iteration**: Continuously optimize user experience. 2. **Expand team size**: Bring in more technical and operational talent. 3. **Deepen market promotion**: Serve more users in Chinese-speaking regions. 4. **Technological innovation**: Continue investing in DeFi infrastructure. ## Thanks Thank you to our users for their ongoing support and feedback, to our team members for their perseverance during difficult times, and to our investors for believing in our vision. **We have weathered the toughest times.** Now, let us embrace the new era of digital asset trading together. --- *ANT Team* *2025*
