by

What to know:

  • The move, which comes into effect on February 21, is part of the firm’s 2025 growth strategy and recent rebranding. Because who doesn’t love a good rebrand, right? 🙄
  • Nexo has over $11 billion in assets under management, has issued $8 billion in crypto credit, and paid out over $1 billion in interest. So, basically, they’re doing better than most of us. 💸

So, here’s the tea: Crypto trading and lending platform Nexo has decided that $5,000 is the new “please come in” sign. Yep, they’re evolving into a digital assets wealth manager, which basically means they’re now targeting the “mass affluent” market. Because why cater to the masses when you can just focus on the wealthy? 🙃

This delightful little change is set to kick in on February 21, as part of their grand 2025 growth strategy. I mean, who doesn’t love a good strategy? It’s like a game of chess, but with money. 🤑

“Guided by principles rooted in traditional finance and the personalized excellence of private white-glove services, we are committed to delivering sustainable wealth solutions for generations to come,” said Nexo co-founder Kosta Kantchev. Translation: “We’re here to make rich people even richer.” 🤷‍♀️

Now, let’s not forget that Nexo is one of the few crypto platforms that survived the bear market of 2022-23. They’ve dodged more bullets than a character in an action movie. And guess what? They even got initial approval to operate as a licensed entity in Dubai last March. Because if you’re going to be a wealth manager, you might as well do it in style! 🏖️

With over $11 billion in assets under management, $8 billion in crypto credit issued, and over $1 billion in interest paid out, Nexo is basically the cool kid on the crypto block. And here we are, just trying to figure out how to pay our rent. 😅
