Animoca Brands is betting that the future of crypto trading looks less like a person staring at candlestick charts and more like an AI agent autonomously executing strategies while you sleep. The company’s venture arm put $1M into Superior.Trade on April 1, a protocol-layer platform designed to give AI agents the tools to research, backtest, and execute trades on their own.
The deal plugs Superior.Trade directly into Animoca’s Minds platform, which launched on February 5 in partnership with Ethoswarm. Minds deploys sovereign AI agents without requiring users to maintain hardware infrastructure. Superior.Trade gives those agents something useful to do: trade digital assets with predefined risk parameters.
How the integration actually works
Superior.Trade operates as a “skill” within the Minds ecosystem, meaning agents can autonomously articulate trading strategies in natural language, run backtests against historical data, and then execute those strategies live.
The composable skills library is the key architectural choice here. Rather than building monolithic trading bots that do one thing rigidly, Superior.Trade’s approach lets Minds agents mix and match capabilities.
