Social sentiment-driven trading? This quantitative platform completes $1.2 million in funding

【Blockchain Rhythm】The trading strategy platform KOLECT has recently made new progress. This platform, which focuses on sentiment signal quantification, recently completed a $1.2 million Pre-Seed funding round, with a notable investor lineup—led by amber.ac, with Wonder Capital Group and GC Capital participating.

KOLECT’s core idea is quite interesting: directly transforming retail investors’ emotions, opinions, and discussions on social media into actionable trading strategies. In simple terms, what the market discusses on X or various communities can be captured by the platform as collective psychology and then converted into quantitative trading signals.

After securing funding, KOLECT plans to focus on three areas: first, deepening the development of core platform features; second, strengthening community operations; third, integrating the prediction market segment. From an investor’s perspective, the representative from amber.ac was straightforward: “Social trading is becoming an indispensable driving force in the crypto market, and this has the potential to reshape the entire investment and trading model.”

This viewpoint reflects a phenomenon—participation and social influence of retail investors are growing in the crypto market. How to convert these unstructured social signals into structured trading logic is becoming a key competitive focus for new trading platforms. How far KOLECT can go depends on whether the product can truly capture the essence of market sentiment.
