Overview
DV Trading uses its own capital to buy and sell financial instruments, adding liquidity to markets so other participants can trade.

It earns returns from its trading activity, and its commodities division applies market-making and proprietary strategies to crude oil, natural gas, power and related energy markets.

Company News
RWX, a dev cloud platform for AI-driven software engineering, has raised $12 million in Series A funding led by Hyde Park Venture Partners. Existing investor Quiet Capital participated, alongside The O.H.I.O. Fund R1 Capital, DV, and angel investors including Bryan Johnson and Jenkins creator Kohsuke Kawaguchi. The Columbus-based company addresses bottlenecks in validating AI-generated code. As AI agents write code faster than humans, traditional CI pipelines and test suites struggle to keep pace. RWX's platform helps engineering teams validate software more quickly through content-based caching and infrastructure designed specifically for AI-driven development. Customers include Honeycomb, Verkada, nCino, and Coalesce. The company will use the funding to expand its team and accelerate platform development. RWX was founded by CEO Dan Manges and CTO Tommy Graves, who previously cofounded Root.
