UAE-based financial AI platform Oro has secured $3 million in strategic funding to scale its AI-powered execution platform. The round, led by MH Ventures and Mapleblock Capital, also saw participation from M2M Capital, Archer Capital, X21 Digital, Disrupt.com, and ZIGLabs. This brings Oro's total funding to $4 million. Oro's platform uses natural-language AI to translate users' financial instructions into multi-step transactions across decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, maintaining a non-custodial, user-authorised model.

The company has onboarded more than 350,000 active users across 80 languages and supports leading Web3 protocols such as Morpho, Kamino, Lido, Aave, Uniswap, and Raydium. Oro plans to use the funding for AI and agentic technology advancements, team expansion, regulatory compliance, user acquisition, and B2B integrations.
