Liquid launches Co-Invest to trade inside ChatGPT and Claude

Liquid launched Co-Invest on Tuesday. The app runs inside ChatGPT and Claude and allows users to fund accounts, analyze markets and execute live trades across cryptocurrencies, equities, foreign exchange and prediction markets without leaving the chat interface.

Co-Invest supports more than 500 markets. Users can deposit by card, on-chain transfer or from an external wallet, set stop-loss and take-profit levels, and confirm orders inside the conversation. The platform supports crypto, equities, FX exposure, positions on Polymarket prediction markets and pre-IPO secondary investments.

The company routes orders to trading venues including Hyperliquid, Lighter and Ostium. Liquid operates the service as non-custodial and states trades are executed only after a user confirmation screen; the app does not perform fully autonomous executions.

Founder and CEO Franklyn Wang described the app as a single interface for funding, analysis and execution for people who use AI for investing. He said Co-Invest uses Liquid’s internal data layer for market information and positioning while ChatGPT and Claude handle conversational and writing tasks.

Wang noted the conversational flow could add verification steps before large transfers, which the company views as a way to reduce fraud risk in fintech. He recounted an internal example of an employee’s grandmother who lost about $1 million to a scam and said Co-Invest would prompt more questions before allowing a similar transfer.

To limit the risk of incorrect model output, Liquid provides market data from its own sources and pulls positioning data from Hyperliquid and headline data from authoritative feeds rather than letting the language model generate market facts independently.

Because Co-Invest runs inside ChatGPT and Claude instead of replacing those models, Liquid expects the app to benefit as the underlying models improve.

Co-Invest is available in all 50 U.S. states and most other jurisdictions, excluding sanctioned regions such as Iran and North Korea. Liquid cited recent U.S. regulatory guidance and a Commodity Futures Trading Commission no-action letter for another platform as factors in its view that it does not need to register as a broker or exchange for current operations.

Liquid launched its broader trading platform in August and has processed more than $3 billion in trading volume from roughly 40,000 users. In April the company closed an $18 million Series Seed extension co-led by Left Lane Capital and Neo, bringing total funding to about $25.6 million. Investors include Paradigm, General Catalyst, Haun Ventures, K5 Global, SV Angel, AntiFund and Sunflower Capital.

Co-Invest arrives as other fintech and crypto firms add trading or payments features to chat interfaces. The company said it will measure distinct users at launch and delay monetization decisions for the time being.

Wang offered a final note on the app’s goal: “If people literally only use this to say, ‘Hey, should I invest in some meme coin?' and it tells them, ‘No, don't do that,' I think I will have sort of achieved my purpose.”
