HabitTrade has closed a Series A funding round of nearly $10 million to expand its global brokerage footprint and deepen its compliance and risk-control capabilities, the company said. The round was led by Newborn Town Inc., with participation from Bright Venture Capital, StableStock, and other investors.
Based in Sydney, HabitTrade positions itself as a global brokerage firm offering services spanning trading infrastructure, settlement, custody, and asset issuance. The company said the new capital will be used to strengthen its brokerage services, enhance compliance and risk controls, and support expansion into additional markets.
HabitTrade said it supports stablecoin-based settlement for off-chain financial assets as part of its broader effort to provide compliant access to traditional capital markets for users worldwide. Beyond conventional brokerage workflows, the company also said it supports the settlement and issuance of tokenized representations of real-world equities, delivering those services to partners and clients.
Founded in 2021, HabitTrade said it has focused on improving the efficiency of cross-market capital access, including support for U.S. equities across both on-chain and off-chain workflows while maintaining regulatory alignment across jurisdictions. The company said Newborn Town’s global business footprint and user ecosystem across more than 150 countries and regions aligns with its longer-term view that demand will grow for compliant access to U.S. equities across markets.
