Hex Trust Becomes Part of the Eterna Capital Portfolio
We are excited to officially announce our recent investment into Hex Trust.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT here.
Hex Trust is Asia’s leading digital asset custodian with a comprehensive, fully licensed framework that supports digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, DeFi, NFTs, and Security Tokens.
Our investment in their latest $88M Series B was co-led by Animoca Brands and Liberty City with support from other leading investors such as Kenetic, Ripple, Terra, Wintermute, Hashkey, Morgan Creek, BlockFi, and others.
As the blockchain ecosystem continues its rapid growth and becomes the underlying infrastructure for financial instruments, every financial institution will require an enterprise platform to manage their representation on blockchain. This is where Hex Trust wants to help, by providing banks and financial institutions the infrastructure to seamlessly integrate digital assets into their business operations in a highly secure, scalable, and compliant way.
Hex Trust offers its customers four main services: Custody, DeFi & Staking, Brokerage and Trading, and Financing & Structured Solutions.
Hex Trust already has strategic partnerships with established players in both the traditional finance markets (IBM and SIA) and the digital asset ecosystem (R3, Chainalysis, Tokensoft, Algorand, among others). They have also recently entered a joint venture with Animoca Brands to provide financial services to the millions of gamers in Animoca’s ecosystem. One of the biggest problems in the blockchain gaming industry today is the lack of online wallet solutions that conveniently and safely store users’ gaming-based crypto tokens, whilst providing them access to financial services.
This collaboration has solved this dilemma and has enabled the first of its kind solution for the rapidly growing blockchain-based gaming ecosystem. Hex Trust will use its infrastructure to provide financial services to the millions of gamers in Animoca’s ecosystem, including the first of its kind banking service for NFTs, its NFT Safe. The NFT Safe supports a wide variety of unique tokenized assets, handling the individual technical requirements of each specific type.
This raise will help Hex Trust expand into other international market including Europe and the Middle East, cement themselves as leaders in GameFi and Metaverse Custody, scale their team, and solidify themselves as market leaders in Asia.
With our participation in this round, we are pleased to be part of Hex Trust’s vision to be the leading digital asset custody platform.
