AI/platform announcements have generally seen modest positive price reactions, while partnership and earnings news produced one notable negative move each.
Over the past six months, Waton has repeatedly highlighted its AI-driven trading strategy. Prior MoTA previews and unveiling in April–May 2026 produced small positive moves between 0.78% and 2.09%. An AI partnership announcement on March 11, 2026 saw a -3.65% reaction, and first-half fiscal 2026 results on January 28, 2026 with sharply higher revenue but wider losses coincided with a -5.22% move. Today’s limited beta launch builds directly on this MoTA narrative.

Manager of Trading Agents Platform Now Live for Invited Professional Investors
Next Version Under Development with Enhanced User Experience
HONG KONG, May 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waton Financial Limited (NASDAQ: WTF) (“Waton” or the “Company”) today announced the launch of limited access for MoTA (Manager of Trading Agents), substantially upgraded from its previous AI trading platform known as TradingWTF, its AI-native investment-team workbench, now available at m.mota.ai for invited professional investors.
MoTA is an AI-native investment-team workbench that enables senior investors and professional portfolio managers to compose and supervise teams of specialized AI agents. Unlike traditional single-model tools or chat-style assistants, MoTA organizes multiple AI agents across distinct roles — research, analysis, risk, and execution — within a structured, auditable workflow, with investors retaining full control through mandatory human review and final sign-off.
The beta version of MoTA, now live on an invited-only basis, enables users to experience the platform’s core functionality, including building AI agent teams, previewing decisions and risks, and applying human oversight. The next version is under development and is expected to deliver enhanced user experience, improved daily AI collaboration workflows, and the introduction of the “Agent Talents Market”, whereby creators can build, receive rankings, and offer built AI agents for subscription or use by other users. These creator-built agents operate on the Company’s infrastructure, and the Company does not have access to or control over such AI agents’ internal logic.
“The launch of MoTA represents a firm step forward, as Waton adapts to the AI era as a financial technology services provider,” said Zhou Kai, Chairman of Waton Financial Limited. “We have built and are continuously upgrading our AI products. We expect that MoTA will allow us to better position ourselves in the transformation of financial services in the AI era by enabling structured, human-supervised multi-agent collaboration. We believe this is an important milestone in our ongoing product development.”
Professional investors interested in beta access may request an invitation at m.mota.ai. More information about the product is available at www.mota.ai.
