[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 San Salvador, El Salvador, July 9th, 2025]<\/strong><\/p>\n

The raise will accelerate the development of a dual infrastructure: NEXBRIDGE, a regulated issuer of asset-backed digital assets, and NEXPLACE, a next-generation trading platform.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEXBRIDGE <\/a>and NEXPLACE <\/a>today announced the closing of a $8 million Series A<\/strong> funding round led by Fulgur Ventures. The capital will fast-track the expansion of a Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure that merges regulated issuance with seamless trading for retail and institutional clients worldwide.<\/p>\n

Early access to NEXPLACE is now available \u2014 users can join the waitlist<\/strong> here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEXBRIDGE will use the proceeds to launch new digital assets<\/strong> and pursue additional listings <\/strong>across licensed exchanges. NEXPLACE will accelerate development and go-to-market execution ahead of its H2 2025 launch, while advancing further licensing efforts in key jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

NEXBRIDGE and NEXPLACE currently operate as separate entities, but share the same shareholder group and strategic roadmap\u2014 with plans to consolidate under a single holding once the necessary corporate and jurisdictional steps are completed.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOur vision for BitcoinFi is simple: bring the safeguards of traditional capital markets onto Bitcoin rails and make digital assets accessible with 24\/7 efficiency\u2014 through compliant, global infrastructure,\u201d said Michele Crivelli, Founder & CEO of both companies.<\/strong> Today we focus on secure access to familiar exposures like bonds or equities\u2014made available through NEXPLACE and other licensed venues, with our own platform built to evolve and unlock advanced features over time. Tomorrow, we\u2019ll enable businesses to raise capital on-chain through native, regulated digital instruments designed to move funds directly to the issuer, without traditional intermediaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A new on-chain market architecture<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEXBRIDGE issues regulated digital assets backed by real underlying value, offering both familiar exposures and new formats for accessing them. In November 2024, NEXBRIDGE launched USTBL\u2014the first public, regulated digital asset backed by U.S. Treasury Bills and issued on Bitcoin infrastructure via the Liquid Network. Initially listed on Bitfinex Securities, USTBL is now preparing to expand across additional licensed exchanges.<\/p>\n

Following this, El Salvador\u2019s digital\u2011asset regulator (CNAD) approved a broader range of products\u2014spanning from single-stock exposures to multi-asset strategies\u2014set to launch on NEXPLACE and other licensed venues, including through NEXBRIDGE\u2019s own OTC desk.<\/p>\n

NEXPLACE, licensed as a Digital Asset Service Provider, offers a unified venue for trading a wide range of digital assets\u2014from native cryptocurrencies and utility tokens to asset-linked instruments. Advanced features\u2014such as using eligible tokenized assets as collateral for derivatives\u2014will be gradually rolled out following launch.<\/p>\n

Unlike models where tokenized assets are mere digital wrappers of off-chain products, NEXBRIDGE issues digital assets that are regulated at the token level. Each issuance is formally approved by CNAD, receives a unique instrument identifier, and includes public disclosures such as proof-of-reserve attestations and a dedicated termsheet detailing key information. In this model, transparency and regulatory oversight apply directly to the digital asset users hold and trade\u2014not just to the structure behind it.<\/p>\n

While initial distribution will occur primarily via NEXPLACE, the infrastructure is designed for openness. NEXBRIDGE\u2019s regulatory architecture allows its assets to be listed on other licensed trading venues\u2014ensuring portability.<\/p>\n

This dual model bridges two worlds: providing secure, regulated access to digital markets for global users\u2014especially those in fast-growing emerging economies\u2014while giving institutions a simplified interface to manage both crypto and asset-linked positions with full transparency.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis raise helps us unlock a new generation of asset-linked digital products\u2014especially for users in markets where access to dollar-based exposure has been limited,\u201d Crivelli added. \u201cEach token we issue is directly regulated, with its own public termsheet, governance, and oversight\u2014rather than being a passive mirror of an off-chain asset. That\u2019s a structural shift \u2013 and a foundation we can build on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Strategic alignment and investor support<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fulgur Ventures,<\/strong> the lead investor, supports Bitcoin\u2011native infrastructure with real\u2011world applications.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBitcoin continues to establish itself as a unique, scarce digital asset\u2014now increasingly relevant to institutional finance,\u201d said Oleg Mikhalsky, Partner at Fulgur Ventures. \u201cTraditional financial institutions are beginning to recognize Bitcoin not only as a store of value but also as a settlement layer for both monetary transactions and tokenized instruments. NEXBRIDGE and NEXPLACE demonstrate a meaningful, real-world use case enabled by the Liquid Network that reinforces Bitcoin\u2019s role in capital markets\u2014a development Fulgur is proud to support.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Blockstream <\/strong>\u2014 the Bitcoin infrastructure firm behind the Liquid Network layer-2 that powers asset issuance and settlement \u2014 emphasized the partnership\u2019s strategic potential.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBy powering NEXBRIDGE\u2019s digital asset issuance and NEXPLACE\u2019s trading platform with the Liquid Network, we\u2019re helping shape a new generation of capital markets\u2014anchored to Bitcoin\u2019s security, built for global scale, said Adam Back, Co\u2011founder & CEO of Blockstream.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
