Dubai, UAE | May 2026 – The agent economy is reshaping financial markets. Open-source agent frameworks are accelerating autonomous financial activity, with AI agents increasingly executing trades, managing portfolios, and interacting directly with exchanges. Yet the financial infrastructure supporting this shift has not evolved at the same pace.CoinQuant, the AI-powered no-code trading platform that has attracted over 15,000 users since launch, today announces its expansion into a unified trading intelligence architecture built for both human traders and autonomous AI agents.“Autonomous trading is no longer theoretical. It is already happening. The next phase requires structured validation, disciplined risk management, and intelligence infrastructure. That is what CoinQuant delivers,” said Maan Ftouni, Founder and CEO of CoinQuant.The trust layer for autonomous AI agentsAs AI agents increasingly connect directly to exchanges and wallets, many rely on raw APIs without structured backtesting, risk analysis, or validated data pipelines. CoinQuant introduces a structured intelligence layer between trading intent and live capital deployment.No strategy goes live unvalidated, whether built by a human or generated autonomously. Backtesting, risk metrics, and parameter optimization are embedded directly into the workflow, ensuring capital is deployed only after systematic evaluation.From no-code platform to trading intelligence architectureCoinQuant’s expansion reflects the evolution of its core engine. At the center of the platform is a unified intelligence system combining institutional-grade backtesting, structured market data from providers including Kaiko and Financial Modeling Prep, AI-powered optimization, and CoinQuant’s proprietary Domain Expert system.Human traders interact through a natural language interface that allows them to describe, test, optimize, and deploy strategies without writing code. AI agents connect programmatically through API and MCP integrations to validate strategies and access structured data at scale.The interface is only the surface. The intelligence engine beneath it is the product.One engine, two growth vectorsThis expansion represents a natural extension of CoinQuant’s business model. The platform’s growing base of over 15,000 traders validates product-market fit and generates structured strategy intelligence. The agent interface multiplies that value through high-volume programmatic validation and automation workflows.Every strategy built, tested, and deployed contributes to an anonymized aggregated intelligence layer, creating a proprietary dataset mapping trading intent to logic, validation metrics, and performance outcomes across market conditions.“The same engine that powers a trader’s first backtest can validate hundreds of strategies for autonomous systems in parallel. We are building one intelligence foundation for both humans and AI agents,” Ftouni added.Automation layer launching nextCoinQuant is preparing to launch its automated strategy execution layer on HyperLiquid as its second major revenue stream.The automation layer will enable validated strategies to transition seamlessly from backtest to live deployment within the same intelligence framework.Raising $3 million to scaleCoinQuant is currently raising a $3 million Seed round to support product development, infrastructure scaling, and global expansion. The company is also developing HYDRA, a hierarchical multi-agent architecture designed for advanced research, risk modeling, and strategy optimization.With over 15,000 users validating demand for structured trading intelligence, CoinQuant aims to become the intelligence backbone of algorithmic trading in the agent-driven financial era.About CoinQuantCoinQuant is an AI trading platform that enables traders and AI agents to build, validate, optimize, and automate trading strategies using natural language. Headquartered in Dubai, CoinQuant integrates with major exchanges and institutional data providers to deliver professional-grade trading infrastructure to a global community.Media contact:

May 25, 2026 — Canton Foundation, Toss, BitGo Among Co-Hosts at Private Event; Token Launch Slated for Second Half of 2026.On May 21, ARIQO, an on-chain financial platform, made its first public appearance at Southeast Asia Blockchain Week (SEABW) in Bangkok.Earlier that day on the conference floor, ARIQO co-founder Emanuel Escobar Duro (CBO) spoke with teams from Orca and Viva Republica (Toss) about the shifting role of DeFi platforms and the trajectory of institutional RWA adoption. The broad direction, he noted, is already clear — institutional capital is moving on-chain. The open question is which platforms actually have the infrastructure to receive it, and on that front, the field is still thin.That evening, ARIQO hosted a private networking event, Alpha After Dark: Where Liquidity Meets Opportunity. Canton Foundation, Viva Republica (Toss), BitGo, Bitkub Exchange, and BLOCKSTREET joined as co-hosts. Running from 8 p.m. to midnight, the gathering brought together institutional investors, liquidity providers, and protocol teams.The conversations centered on three threads. The first was the structural gap in today’s RWA market: institutional demand for tokenized real-world assets is climbing fast, but the infrastructure to actually trade and manage them onchain remains early-stage. The second was the liquidity bootstrap problem — the cold start that new onchain venues keep running into, where there are no traders without liquidity and no liquidity without traders, and how to break that loop. The third was what it takes for institutional capital to move into the DeFi layer: transparency of yield structures, smart contract audits, predictability of capital management — and how far current protocols actually meet those bars. Attendees traded candid views on each.It was hard to read the event as a routine networking night. The fact that a project still ahead of launch could bring Canton Foundation, Viva Republica (Toss), BitGo, Bitkub Exchange, and BLOCKSTREET to the table as co-hosts speaks to the credibility ARIQO has already built. The discussion carried weight, too. Real, unsolved problems — the structural gaps in RWA, the DEX cold start, the conditions for institutional inflows — were put on the table, and attendees spoke frankly about them.ARIQO defines itself not as a single product but as a three-phase financial infrastructure strategy. Where most blockchain projects work backward from a token launch, ARIQO builds the revenue-generating infrastructure first and places the token on top of it. The team sums up its principle in one line: “Capital first. Flow second. Native market last.”The first phase is the Vault, set to launch in Q3 this year. It runs multiple stablecoin vaults with distinct risk-return profiles, and the TVL gathered here becomes the capital base for every phase that follows. The aim at this stage is not to win an APY race, but to establish ARIQO first as a platform that manages capital reliably.The second is the Terminal, a trade-aggregation layer that sits on top of existing exchanges. Users keep trading on Binance, OKX, and the venues they already use; by connecting through ARIQO’s interface, rebates are optimized across exchanges and can be automatically reinvested into the Vault. At this stage, ARIQO absorbs external trading flow into its own layer without building a new exchange.The last is the native RWA Perp DEX. An orderbook-based perpetuals exchange covering crypto, commodities, indices, and synthetic real-world assets, it launches at a point when TVL from the Vault and a trader base from the Terminal already exist — a design that structurally sidesteps the cold start problem, the hardest part of any DEX launch. Fee revenue at this stage flows into $AQV buybacks and back to the Vault, closing the full loop.The $AQV TGE is scheduled for the second half of this year, after the Vault and Terminal are live. CTO Julius Nielsen, who leads technical implementation, and CSO Daniel J. Aldridge, who handles operational strategy, round out the team alongside co-founders Jin Tang (COO) and Emanuel Escobar Duro (CBO).The Q3 Vault launch marks the first step of this strategy.

Influence360 introduces a campaign engine that enables Web3 projects to discover KOLs globally, execute structured campaigns, and track real performance across regions, languages, and channels. A benchmark study of 143 Web3 KOLs highlights major gaps in payments, access, and campaign infrastructure, providing context for the platform’s launch.May 25, 2026 — Influence360 today announced the launch of its platform, introducing a new infrastructure layer for Web3 influencer marketing built around trust, data, and global execution.Projects can discover web3 KOLs across 10+ languages and key platforms, including X, YouTube, TikTok, and Telegram; launch structured campaigns; and manage execution in one place with AI-powered optimization, smart contract escrow, and real-time performance tracking, enabling transparent payments and clear attribution at a global scale.“Web3 influencer marketing already moves serious budgets, but the infrastructure around it still feels too basic for the level the market has reached,” said Dejan Horvat, founder & CEO of Influence360. “The biggest issue in the industry is that campaigns don’t compound, as teams aren’t learning what actually drives performance. Influence360 turns every campaign into data, showing which creators deliver value, what content works, and how to optimize spend over time. That’s how we bring trust, structure, and measurable performance to Web3 marketing.”Influence360 is built by a team with extensive experience in Web3 influencer marketing and campaign execution. Through their previous work at Innovion, the co-founders, Dejan Horvat and Laura Toma, have collaborated with leading blockchain projects and KOL networks across multiple regions over the last 9 years, managing campaigns and partnerships that directly informed the platform’s design and its focus on real-world execution challenges.Influence360 also extends this infrastructure to Web3 agencies and talent managers. Through a permission-based system, influencers can grant agencies custom access levels covering everything from campaign applications to payment handling, while agencies manage their full roster from a single account. Agencies can apply to campaigns on behalf of creators, set their own pricing on top of influencer rates, and earn a share of platform fees from influencers they bring on, for life. This structure is part of Influence360’s broader referral program, which will expand to include a dedicated affiliate marketing feature focused on performance-based campaigns.Influence360 is now open to Web3 projects looking to run structured campaigns, KOLs seeking reliable partnerships, agencies managing creator rosters, and affiliate marketing partners focused on performance-driven growth. Learn more and join at influence360.io.For its launch, Influence360 is releasing The State of Web3 Influencer Marketing 2026, based on survey responses from 143 Web3 KOLs across seven global regions.The research shows a financially active ecosystem, where more than half of KOLs earn between $1,000 and $5,000 per campaign, with experienced KOLs exceeding that range. The report highlights a persistent trust gap in the market, with only 35% of KOLs reporting that they have been paid by every project they have worked with.The findings also confirm that Web3 influencer marketing is already a repeat-driven and increasingly professionalized channel. 97% of the KOLs surveyed have worked with the same projects multiple times, while most evaluate factors such as team transparency, investor backing, and project credibility before accepting collaborations. However, the lack of structured tooling, reliable payments, and performance attribution continues to limit efficiency and scale.Influence360 is built to close this gap by combining campaign execution, real attribution, and a growing data layer that will power AI-driven campaign benchmarking and optimization. With a roadmap that expands into advanced analytics, UGC campaign infrastructure, and automation, the platform is positioning itself as a long-term growth engine for Web3 marketing, where campaigns are continuously measured and improved.About Influence360Influence360 is a Web3 creator marketing platform designed to make influencer campaigns transparent, fairly compensated, and measurable at scale.
