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.”

  • Iran Does Not Officially Respond to Extended Ceasefire Deadline

    On April 23, Iran has not provided any official response regarding U.S. President Trump's announcement to extend the temporary ceasefire deadline, nor about the possibility of a second round of negotiations with the U.S. Iranian public opinion widely believes that the contradictions in U.S. rhetoric and its constantly changing policies are the main reasons for Iran's inability to trust the U.S. Additionally, Israel's repeated violations of the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire agreement and the ongoing U.S. maritime blockade against Iran are key factors affecting the negotiation process. Analysts point out that the risk of renewed war and conflict remains very high, and if both sides continue to insist on their current demands and conditions, the nature of this regional crisis may evolve from a purely U.S.-Iran issue into a global problem.
