Hong Kong-based Animoca Brands has made a $1 million co-investment in Superior.Trade, a protocol layer for AI-driven trading, marking the first investment under the company’s recently launched Minds Investment Programme.

In a statement on Thursday, Animoca Brands said the investment is under its recently-launched Minds Investment Programme and its affiliates.

The Minds Investment Programme, launched in May, commits up to $10 million to support teams building with Minds, Animoca Brands’ AI agent platform. Superior.Trade was among the earliest teams to adopt the platform.

Superior.Trade allows users to define trading parameters and have an AI agent assist with strategy development, backtesting against historical data, and live trade execution when defined conditions are met. The platform uses trade-only agent wallets connected to Hyperliquid, separating execution from custody so that agents can execute trades but cannot withdraw user funds.

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said the investment reflects the company’s view that AI agents must operate within systems that preserve user control, transparency, and security. Superior.Trade can demonstrate how persistent, permissioned agents can translate user intent into on-chain execution, the executive added.

Mohamed Ezeldin, head of Animoca Labs, said Superior.Trade stood out by using Minds to automate a complex process and make it accessible to consumers.

Jason Kwok, co-founder and CEO of Superior.Trade, said the investment would accelerate deployment of the company’s agentic trading infrastructure and its expansion into broader global markets.
