ABCDE: Why We Lead Invest in NFEx?

Validated Venture

NFEX is an NFT perpetual exchange. By providing derivatives instruments, it provides NFT players with hedging, clearing and risk management capabilities. The platform is committed to becoming the largest NFT liquidity center.

ABCDE has led the investment in NFEx in the Seed round, followed by Amber Group and Firestone Ventures.

1.Today we are facing several problems in the NFT market:

1.1 Liquidity crisis

The number of NFTs on Ethereum has exceeded 100 million, but 99.99% of NFTs lack liquidity.

Even NFT lending protocols such as BendDAO had difficulties liquidating and most NFTs face liquidity crisis.

1.2 Too much transaction cost

The 5-10% royalty fees and 2.5% platform fees in the NFT market make the illiquid market even worse. Through the design of derivative instruments in NFEx, NFT players can cleverly avoid huge transaction fees and have a better win rate.

1.3 Not short-able

Although the NFT market has huge potential, NFT players also need more financial tools to protect themselves. NFEx will be one of the few NFT derivatives platforms with two way liquidity for the market. Whether it is hedging or speculating, users have more tools to play with.

1.4 High entry barriers

The well-known NFT projects such as BAYC or PUNK has reached a sky-high floor price of 70 Ethereum, which is unaffordable to new users or users with little funds. NFEx lowered entry barrier for these users through leverage so that people can trade BAYC and PUNK with 0.1 ETH. More people can participate in the market.

Therefore, although today's NFT market has great potential, it still urgently needs a platform that provides more derivatives and brings stronger liquidity to the market. NFEx is one of the strong players. The co-founders of the team come from the industry's top exchanges and liquidity market makers. They are not only familiar with the NFT market, but also have professional trading and risk control experience. They have the comprehensive ability to build an industry-leading NFT derivatives platform.

2. To become the strongest NFT liquidity platform

The vision of NFEx is to build the strongest liquidity platform for the NFT industry, not only serving individual users, but also serving institutions, bringing a huge NFT liquidity breakthrough to the industry.

On the institutional side, based on the team's professionalism and experience, the NFEx team is equipped to become the best liquidity provider in the NFT industry. NFEx will start from established NFT collections and provide support for liquidation and hedging for other NFT lending platforms and NFT marketplaces. The liquidation of all NFTFi projects in the future can be executed on NFEx.

On the retail side, NFEx is aiming to be the platform with best liquidity, allowing users to participate in the NFT market with lower thresholds, cheaper transaction rates, and stronger capital utilization; providing the industry with more trading tools and financial instruments.

By expanding NFT financial derivatives and lowering the threshold for use, NFEx aims to attract more NFT traders and new users to participate, create more liquidity for the industry, and become the building infrastructure of the NFT market.
