Arbital on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Arbital lets you trade perps, memes, stocks, and run market-making strategies from one place. In our first 7 months, 2,700 traders have traded $1.35B in volume through Arbital, and we're now doing $435M/month. We're building towards a social, mobile-first trading app that brings tokenized equities, crypto, and perps to everyone. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Memes, stocks, and perps in one app." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Karon Pangestu, Founder/CEO: Co-founder at Arbital. Head of Growth and first non-engineering hire at Aevo, where I led growth, marketing, and product - helping scale the exchange from $1B to ~$100B in cumulative trading volume, and growing DAU from 1K to 30K in five months. Helped take the company public via token launch (token now listed on Binance and Bybit, ~$3.8B ATH valuation). (source)
  • Steven Mulyawan, Founder/COO: Co-founder at Arbital. Led BD and partnerships at Aevo across Asia, personally building and owning relationships with major KOLs, agencies, and high-net-worth traders - the network we now tap directly to drive Arbital's growth. Onboarded 10,000+ traders during Aevo's scale from $1B to ~$100B in cumulative volume. (source)
