About Neutral Trade
Neutral Trade is a Solana-based on-chain multi-strategy quantitative fund platform. Users deposit USDC, and the platform automatically allocates funds across multiple live market-neutral strategies, dynamically rebalancing based on market conditions. Its core product, Autopilot, launched recently with a minimum deposit of $100 and a capacity cap of $10 million.
The platform addresses the high barriers and opacity of traditional hedge funds. Traditional funds typically require million-dollar minimum investments, and NAV reporting and fee calculations rely on manual processes that users cannot easily verify. Neutral Trade puts strategy deployment, NAV calculation, and fee settlement on-chain, making them transparent and verifiable at any time.
According to official data, the strategy portfolio has returned 35.0% cumulatively since November 2024, with positive returns in 19 of 20 months and a maximum drawdown of 2.2%. As of September 2026, total deposits exceed $200 million from over 2,500 depositors.
The platform's strategies include cross-exchange arbitrage, funding rate capture, CTA, volatility arbitrage, and mid-frequency market making, all operating with a market-neutral core and up to 5% allocation to directional strategies when risk-adjusted conditions are compelling.
Neutral Trade, an on-chain multi-strategy hedge fund built on Solana, has reached several milestones with long-term significance.
First, the platform completed a $2 million financing round, backed by investors including Perena, Drift, and Pyth. This funding validated the project's vision of democratizing access to institutional-grade quantitative strategies and provided the resources to build out its infrastructure.
Second, the launch of Neutral Autopilot marked a pivotal evolution. This multi-strategy vault allocates user deposits across multiple independent trading firms—such as options market makers and arbitrage desks—with rebalancing based on market conditions. It embodies the platform's core principle of risk containment through diversification and rigorous manager selection.
Underpinning these developments is a disciplined framework: strategies must pass a six-dimension scoring system (minimum 3.5/5), demonstrate verifiable live track records with daily PnL, and undergo full KYB checks. The platform also deploys its own treasury into strategies before accepting user capital, ensuring alignment of interests. With over $2.5 million USDe in vaults and $200 million in cumulative deposits, Neutral Trade is steadily building a transparent, on-chain alternative to traditional hedge funds.
Key progress (Mar 4 – Sep 4, 2026):
Neutral Autopilot launched (Aug 2026) – a live multi-strategy allocator, one deposit spread across market-neutral strategies, rebalanced automatically. Hard 5% cap on directional strategies, enforced at infrastructure layer. Live since Nov 2024 with +35.0% cumulative return, positive in 19 of 20 months, max drawdown 2.2%. Deposits from $100 USDC on Solana, capacity capped at $10M. No annual fee until Sep 1, 2026; 2x NT Points on deposits.
Unified CeDeFi capital management – Autopilot integrates multi-exchange (Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, Gate, KuCoin) and on-chain venues (Hyperliquid, Lighter). Custody separated from execution, MPC wallet for on-chain signing, NAV triple-verified daily (Neutral Trade x trading firm x Accountable).
Switching between vaults without dead hop – one-click switch, withdrawal fees removed, capital keeps working.
Future roadmap:
- Tokenization: Autopilot to become first tokenized vault – deposit becomes a token usable in DeFi while still earning (deposit once, use twice).
- Builder codes: revenue share for partners/distributors, enforced on-chain, with portal for registration, referral analytics, API access.
- Expansion of strategy set and capacity beyond initial $10M phase.
