• Bloom raised $1.6 million in pre-seed funding led by Lightspeed Faction, with support from major Web3 investors and platforms.

Bloom, a crypto-native social app for traders and industry KOLs, has raised $1.6 million in pre-seed funding to create an all-in-one consumer-grade front-end for on-chain finance.

The round was led by Lightspeed Faction, with participation from Stani Kulechov, Outlier Ventures, Delta Blockchain Fund, Cointelegraph, APX (Axel Springer and Porsche), Plassa Capital, Henry Chen, and Paul Taylor.

Positioned as the “everything app” for crypto trading, Bloom integrates social discovery tools, on-chain analytics, decentralised trading, and portfolio management into a single, easy-to-use platform.

It’s designed to simplify the trading experience and empower users to act confidently on verified signals.

“Think of Bloom as the social layer for all of onchain finance,” said Charlie Varley, CEO of Bloom. "An everything app built on the idea that onchain activity is content. Starting with trading, and expanding to wherever financial behaviour happens onchain."

Early Access Launch This Summer

Bloom is currently undergoing internal rollout and testing across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and BNBChain, with an Early Access launch planned for this summer.

The funding will support product development, team expansion in engineering, product, and design, and drive growth campaigns and KOL partnerships.

Crypto trading has traditionally required a mix of disconnected tools across various chains and platforms.

Bloom streamlines this by offering a unified experience: users can view real-time feeds of verified on-chain actions, copy trades from trusted influencers with one click, and manage their portfolios, all within one app.

For traders and KOLs, Bloom introduces a performance-based reputation layer where fees are earned when others follow their trades, creating a more transparent, social, and incentivised crypto trading environment.
