Nexo, a leading regulated institution for digital assets, has launched a flagship brokerage platform called Nexo Prime. This new brokerage unit targets institutional, corporate, and high-net-worth investors.
Nexo Prime will provide a single, integrated product with the tools needed to trade, borrow, lend, and securely custody digital assets. It complements Nexo’s existing market-leading retail platform.
Co‑founder Kalin Metodiev cited rising demand for digital assets from corporate and institutional investors.
Metodiev said:
“Institutional and corporate demand for digital assets has never been higher, and the market for prime services could grow tenfold in the coming year. Clients entering this sector expect a sophisticated, full-featured institutional-grade platform, and that is exactly what we are delivering with Nexo Prime.”
Nexo has incubated the product with a core group of clients over the past 18 months.
Yasen Yankov, Vice President of Nexo Prime development, stated:
“We have carefully built and incubated Nexo Prime over the past 18 months with a core client group, and we are excited to unveil the platform to the world. Today, we are a trusted partner to leading trading firms, hedge funds, family offices, and OTC desks. We provide clients access to deep, diversified liquidity pools; lending to meet any needs; best-in-market pricing; efficient, low-latency execution; and industry-leading custody solutions through partnerships with BitGo, Fireblocks, Ledger Vault, and Fidelity Digital Assets, all backed by $375 million in custodial insurance underwritten by Lloyd’s of London and Marsh & Arch.”
