Woofun AI reports that Phantom has hired two co-founders and a software engineer from Ventuals, a recently closed platform for trading unlisted stock tokens built on Hyperliquid. Phantom clarified this move as a talent acquisition, not a purchase of the platform or its products. Ventuals specialized in tokenizing unlisted equities on Hyperliquid’s layer-1 blockchain before ceasing operations earlier this year due to regulatory and market pressures. By absorbing these engineers, Phantom aims to strengthen its product development team with expertise in compliance and tokenization.
