Decentralized BBO Exchange secures $2.7 million in pre-seed funding

BBO Exchange, a decentralized derivate exchange, has raised $2.7 million in its pre-seed funding round led by Hashed and Arrington Capital, the company announced today.

In a statement shared with The Block, BBOX said that the funding round also attracted participation from investors, including Consensys, CMS Holdings, Flow Traders, Manifold Trading, Mask Network and Nomura’s Laser Digital.

BBOX explained that its automated market maker model allows liquidity providers to “correlate its price ranges with other assets, emulating the strategies of proactive market makers while maintaining the ease of passive liquidity provision.”

The trading platform said it is working to launch its signal-driven AMM on Linea , a zkEVM Layer 2 Network for scaling Ethereum dApps. BBOX added that the registration has opened for its private testnet.

“We aim to provide the entire DeFi ecosystem with both the infrastructure and the liquidity layer for derivative trading, and our ultimate goal is to create a venue where users can trade everything, earn on everything, and do both very effectively,” Ray, founder of BBOX, said in the statement.
