Waton Financial announced the launch of MOTA, its Manager of Trading Agents platform, on April 14, 2026. The platform is designed for professional investors who want to orchestrate multiple AI agents while retaining human oversight. MOTA is built on the company’s regulated infrastructure and incorporates a human‑in‑the‑loop design, embedded compliance controls, and transparent audit trails, positioning it as a compliant alternative to existing AI‑driven trading tools.
The company said MOTA will go live in June 2026. It is not an “AI beats the market” solution; instead, it aggregates signals and offers recommendations, leaving final trade decisions to the investor. The launch follows Waton’s first anniversary as a Nasdaq‑listed AI‑agents holding company and aligns with the firm’s broader strategy to transition from a legacy brokerage to a software‑licensing model.
Financially, Waton reported a net loss of $0.17 per share for the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared with a loss of $0.028 per share in the same period of fiscal 2025. Revenue for the same period rose to $6.10 million, a 106.3% increase from $2.96 million in the first half of fiscal 2024. The company attributed the revenue growth to increased brokerage and commission income, particularly from the Hong Kong market, while the widening loss was largely driven by share‑based compensation expenses.
Management highlighted the company’s “infrastructure‑first” approach. “We made a deliberate choice to build the foundation before the features,” said a company spokesperson. “Embedded compliance and transparent audit trails are not optional add‑ons; they are the foundation that makes sustainable AI‑assisted trading possible.” Chairman and CTO ZHOU Kai added that the firm is pleased with the revenue growth in the first half of fiscal 2026, especially in core brokerage operations, which benefited from investor interest in Hong Kong.
The announcement was well received by investors, reflecting confidence in Waton’s compliance‑focused strategy and the potential for new recurring revenue from MOTA. The platform’s launch marks a significant step in the company’s transformation plan and underscores its commitment to building a regulated, AI‑enabled trading ecosystem.
