Launched in 2018, the protocol is among the top digital assets services. Nexo has its native ERC20 token, through which users access benefits, such as fee discounts.
Talking about the news, head of FDAS in Europe, Christopher Tyrer said that the step opens up the opportunity to deliver users enhanced operations. The executive pointed out the increasing interest in the industry. Nexo’s co-founder Kalin Metodiev said that the cooperation is another achievement for the company on its way to provide a venue for large companies and increase the presence of conventional finance entities into the digital asset environment.
