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.

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."
