Cointime Official

NFEX has completed a $3 Million seed round led by ABCDE Capital and included investment from other well-known institutions including Amber Group and Firestone Ventures. NFEX strives to build the best derivative NFT market, creating new opportunities to attract greater liquidity to the NFT marketplace.

What is NFEX?

NFEX is a decentralized derivatives exchange that offers perpetual swaps trading across popular blue chip NFTs and other crypto assets. NFEX expands limitations and boosts liquidity compared to traditional NFT marketplaces, offering leverages and long/short trading capabilities. Users can take positions in NFTs at low entry costs, speculating the future prices in either direction or shorting NFTs without any holdings. This opens up a variety of trading strategies for NFT traders including hedging, speculation and arbitrage.

BMAN, the co-founder and GP at ABCDE Capital commented in a previous interview, expressing his concerns over the lack of liquidity in 99.99% of the existing NFT projects and his confidence in innovative products like NFEX to bring a reform to this industry.

“NFEx’s vision is to build the liquidity center for the NFT industry. The founders of the team have extensive experience in building exchanges and providing liquidity for new asset classes. We believe they are the most capable candidates for this product.”

The public launch of NFEX is around the corner. Please follow our twitter for the most recent updates.
