Coral Finance, founded in 2022 by Iceman Tao, is a United States-based decentralized finance (DeFi) platform positioned as a marketplace and liquidity hub for pre-market assets. The company secured $500,000 in a seed funding round on August 30, 2023, with participation from MTcapital. Throughout 2023 and into 2025, Coral Finance has engaged in multiple funding rounds, including a $1.5 million round in April 2023 and a $3 million angel round in March 2025, attracting investors such as Mask Network, Kucoin Ventures, and Zebec Network.
The platform operates primarily as an online derivatives trading platform, enabling users to trade tokenized assets before their official launch or Token Generation Event (TGE). This allows users to potentially lock in profits early and engage with emerging projects. The business model centers on creating a pre-listing market, filling the liquidity gap that exists before assets are publicly traded. It serves crypto traders and investors looking for early-stage opportunities and ways to maximize yields on their assets.
Coral Finance's core product is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that utilizes an Automated Market Maker (AMM) system, which allows for trading without traditional order books or intermediaries. A key feature is the "Locked to Unlock (L.t.U)" mechanism, designed to maintain asset value, manage speculation on points, and provide solidified liquidity. The platform offers various products and services, including staking, yield farming, and swapping functionalities. Users can trade points on the AMM-based DEX, provide liquidity to earn fees, and eventually convert points into project tokens after the TGE. The platform also features an "AlphaVault" to track on-chain project dynamics and a "Point Hub" to facilitate community growth and asset valuation. By aggregating diversified earning channels like staking and liquidity mining, Coral Finance aims to help users maximize yields through efficient capital allocation.
