PERPTools Raises $8M in Token Rounds

PERPTools has raised $8 million across two token funding rounds as the team behind DEXTools expands its decentralized perpetual futures platform and AI trading products.

The financing includes a $3 million pre-seed round at a $30 million fully diluted valuation and a $5 million seed round at an $80 million valuation. NEAR, Animoca Brands, BigBrain Holdings, Sfermion and Shima Capital joined the seed round.

$3M Pre-Seed Valued PERPTools at $30M

DEXTools Ventures and Orderly Network led the $3 million pre-seed round, which closed in December 2025 after fundraising began a month earlier. The $5 million seed followed in early 2026 and lifted PERPTools’ fully diluted valuation to $80 million.

PERPTools runs on Orderly Network’s shared liquidity infrastructure and uses DEXTools as a discovery channel for supported perpetual markets. The company says its private beta has processed about $240 million in trading volume.

AI Arena and Perpetual DEX are Already Live

PERPTools has launched its self-custodial perpetual futures exchange, AI Arena and Tap Prediction products.

AI Arena lets users create and fund autonomous trading agents without writing code. Users can set risk and leverage limits before an agent begins trading, while public agents can also receive capital from other users.

Tap Prediction allows short-term price calls using PERPTools Points rather than USDC or other real-money collateral.

Token Generation Event Planned for Late Q4 2026

PERPTools plans to hold its token generation event in late fourth-quarter 2026 but has not announced a specific date. The company is also planning event-based prediction markets through an integration with Kash.

The new funding brings in investors from crypto infrastructure and Web3 portfolios as PERPTools expands trading execution and autonomous-agent products around the DEXTools and Orderly Network stack.
