UAE-Based Oro Raises $3 Million to Scale AI Finance Platform

UAE-based financial AI platform Oro has raised $3 million in a strategic funding round co-led by MH Ventures and Mapleblock Capital.

The round also included participation from M2M Capital, Archer Capital and X21 Digital, with follow-on backing from Disrupt.com and ZIGLabs. It brings Oro’s total funding to $4 million.

Founded in 2024 by Varun Choudhary, Oro uses natural-language AI to turn user instructions into multi-step transactions across decentralised finance protocols. The platform operates on a non-custodial basis, meaning users retain control of their assets while authorising individual transactions.

Oro is positioning the product around a wider shift from conversational AI toward intent-based execution, where users can describe a financial action in plain language and have the platform carry out the required steps across connected protocols.

The new capital will be used to advance Oro’s AI and agentic technology, expand its engineering and business development teams, strengthen regulatory and compliance frameworks, grow its user base and support more B2B integrations.

Oro says it has onboarded more than 350,000 active users and supports over 80 languages. Its live mainnet integrations include Morpho, Kamino, Lido, Aave, Uniswap and Raydium.

Recent campaigns include an educational initiative backed by Amazon Web Services that recorded more than 250,000 verified completions, as well as a live initiative with Ondo Finance that generated over 50,000 verified completions in its first 24 hours.

With the new funding, Oro plans to launch native iOS and Android apps, expand protocol integrations and accelerate enterprise partnerships. The company is targeting 10 million active users over the next six to 12 months and is also finalising appointments to its advisory board.
