Surf raises $15 million, led by Pantera Capital.

Odaily reports that Surf, an AI platform specifically designed for the crypto space, has announced the completion of a $15 million funding round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Coinbase Ventures and Digital Currency Group.

Ryan Li, co-founder and CEO of Surf, stated that mainstream AI platforms suffer from too many "illusionary" errors in the crypto space, potentially causing significant losses for traders, which led to the creation of Surf. The platform launched as an invitation-only service in July and opened to the public in September, currently boasting over 300,000 users and generating over 1 million search results. Surf's revenue comes from subscription fees, and it plans to use this round of funding to launch a more advanced model, Surf 2.0, in February 2026.
