NEXBRIDGE and NEXPLACE Secure $8M Series A Funding to Unveil Integrated Bitcoin Capital Markets Ecosystem
San Salvador, El Salvador, 9th July 2025 – NEXBRIDGE and NEXPLACE have successfully raised $8 million in their Series A funding round to introduce an integrated Bitcoin capital markets environment. This development marks a significant milestone in the digital asset space and is poised to reshape the landscape of capital markets anchored to Bitcoin’s security.
Expanding Market Reach
Bitfinex Securities has announced that USTBL is gearing up to expand its presence across additional licensed exchanges. El Salvador’s digital-asset regulator (CNAD) has granted approval for a wider array of products, ranging from single-stock exposures to multi-asset strategies, to be launched on NEXPLACE and other accredited platforms, including NEXBRIDGE’s proprietary OTC desk.
NEXPLACE’s Role
NEXPLACE, accredited as a Digital Asset Service Provider, aims to serve as a unified marketplace for trading a diverse range of digital assets, encompassing native cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, and asset-linked instruments. The platform will introduce advanced features, such as using eligible tokenized assets as collateral for derivatives, following its official launch.
Distinguishing Features of NEXBRIDGE
Unlike traditional models where tokenized assets merely represent off-chain assets, NEXBRIDGE issues digital assets that are regulated at the token level. This approach ensures compliance with El Salvador’s Digital Asset Issuance Law, with settlement processes secured through the Bitcoin-based Liquid Network.
Expert Commentary
According to Sam Boolman, ChainIntel’s lead analyst, this funding round signifies a pivotal moment in the convergence of digital assets and traditional capital markets. He notes, ‘The integration of Bitcoin’s security features into capital market ecosystems reflects a growing trend towards leveraging blockchain technology for enhanced security and efficiency.’
Adam Back, Co-Founder & CEO of Blockstream, emphasized the significance of leveraging the Liquid Network to power digital asset issuance and trading platforms, envisioning a new era of capital markets designed for global scalability and security.
Early Access and Future Plans
Early access to NEXPLACE is now available, with interested users encouraged to join the waitlist for exclusive access to the platform. NEXPLACE is slated for a public launch in the second half of 2025, offering a cutting-edge digital asset exchange experience.
