NEXBRIDGE and NEXPLACE: Revolutionizing Bitcoin Capital Markets with $8M Series A Funding
On July 9th, 2025, in San Salvador, El Salvador, NEXBRIDGE and NEXPLACE announced the closing of an $8 million Series A funding round led by Fulgur Ventures. This funding will accelerate the development of a groundbreaking ecosystem that combines NEXBRIDGE, a regulated issuer of asset-backed digital assets, and NEXPLACE, a cutting-edge trading platform.
Empowering Bitcoin Capital Markets
Noted on Bitfinex Securities, USTBL, the digital asset regulator in El Salvador (CNAD), is gearing up to expand its offerings across multiple licensed exchanges. The CNAD has greenlighted a diverse range of products, from single-stock exposures to multi-asset strategies, slated to debut on NEXPLACE and other accredited platforms, including through NEXBRIDGE’s OTC desk.
NEXPLACE, operating as a Digital Asset Service Provider, will serve as a comprehensive marketplace for trading various digital assets, spanning from native cryptocurrencies and utility tokens to asset-backed instruments. With innovative functionalities, like using tokenized assets as collateral for derivatives, to be gradually introduced post-launch.
Unlike conventional models where tokenized assets are essentially digital representations of physical assets, NEXBRIDGE issues digital assets that are managed at the token level. The company creates and delivers asset-backed digital assets under El Salvador’s Digital Asset Issuance Law, ensuring settlement security through the Bitcoin-based Liquid Network.
