Bluwhale has secured $10m in a Series A funding round led by United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) venture arm, marking a significant step in the integration of AI and blockchain in financial services. The funding, announced on 22 October 2025, underscores the growing trend of institutional investment in digital assets, with Bluwhale’s decentralised AI network already serving over 3.6 million users globally.
UOB Venture Management, a subsidiary of one of the world’s top 100 banks, spearheaded the investment, alongside notable backers such as SBI Holdings and top blockchain platforms including Sui, Tezos, and Cardano. This investment highlights the industry’s shift towards real-world applications of blockchain and AI technologies.
Han Jin, CEO of Bluwhale, stated, “The investors in this round signal strong commitments from both Web2 and Web3 to a future powered by AI agents delivering financial services across blockchains.” The company’s approach combines AI agents with a user’s financial health score, offering personalised financial services to a tech-savvy Gen Z audience.
The recent Token Generation Event introduced $BLUAI, Bluwhale’s native token, further expanding its ecosystem. This move aims to enhance the scalability and interoperability of AI applications across multiple blockchain platforms.
Bluwhale’s strategic partnerships and funding will drive its mission to integrate AI into everyday financial applications, targeting the digital-first younger generation. As Jin noted, “Gen Z will need AI agent-managed financial services,” emphasising the shift away from traditional banking methods.
With this funding, Bluwhale is poised to accelerate digital transformation in financial services, leveraging AI and blockchain to meet the evolving needs of modern consumers.
