Hong Kong-based Animoca Brands said on May 28 that it and its affiliates made a US$1 million co-investment in Superior.Trade, an agentic trading infrastructure startup, under its Minds Investment Programme.

The deal is the first announced commitment from the initiative, which launched on May 5 to back products built on Animoca’s AI agent platform.

Superior.Trade is building on Minds, and Animoca said the program is for early-stage teams building with the platform that show a clear product thesis, execution capability, and a path to deployable, scalable businesses.

Animoca has not specified whether the investments are equity, token, or other instruments.

The release said Superior.Trade lets users set trading parameters while AI agents assist with strategy development, backtesting, and live execution through trade-only wallets connected to Hyperliquid.

Hyperliquid documentation says these agent wallets are approved to sign on behalf of a master account rather than act as the main account address.

In Hong Kong, the Securities and Futures Commission does not set out a separate regime for AI trading agents in the materials reviewed.

However, it said virtual-asset trading platforms operating in or actively marketing to local investors must be licensed.
