Symphony, an AI-driven finance infrastructure startup, has unveiled the world's first agentic layer for global financial markets after three years of development. This breakthrough empowers AI agents to securely and autonomously execute transactions at scale, transitioning from insight generation to operational finance. The launch coincides with Symphony's consumer app surpassing $140 million in transaction volume within months, and collaborations with over 15 financial institutions powering 300+ agents for trading and yield strategies.
Symphony's unified orchestration layer combines AI, automation, and financial primitives to allow non-technical users to create and deploy intelligent agents. Vik Chawla, Co-Founder & CEO, highlighted converging trends: "Large language models have commoditized financial insights, there’s a cultural shift where people are letting AI steer real aspects of their lives, and leading AI research labs are now turning their focus toward financial systems." This infrastructure supports parallelized transactions and modular integration, achieving low latency and high finality essential for agentic execution.
James Berry, Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, emphasized inclusivity: "Less than 1% of the global population can code and probably even less can manage their finances effectively. Our mission is to empower the remaining 99% to easily use, build, and launch production-grade autonomous agents." Benjamin Scherr, Co-Founder & CTO, added, "The infrastructure we created gives AI agents access to global liquidity immediately at deployment with HFT-level performance and production-grade, audited security." Dean Amiel, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, noted breakthroughs in parallelization and modularity for interoperability.
Symphony's launch represents a paradigm shift, turning AI from analysts to operators in a $10 trillion derivatives market, with applications in prediction markets and beyond. Following its 2024 funding, the company is in talks for a new round to fuel growth.
Symphony is the first agentic layer for global financial markets, engineered to bring autonomous intelligence directly into financial infrastructure. Its architecture fuses AI, automation, and financial instruments within a unified orchestration layer, enabling non-custodial execution, deterministic reliability, and seamless composability across systems.
Built with a modular and parallelized design, Symphony delivers high-throughput, low-latency performance that allows AI agents to transact, coordinate, and evolve across global markets in real time. By enabling AI to autonomously trade across derivatives, prediction markets, and beyond, Symphony establishes the foundation for a new era of agentic finance where intelligent systems move from analysis to autonomous action.
