What is Nexo?

Nexo offers the world’s first instant crypto overdrafts. This means that owners of digital assets do not need to sell their crypto to have access to instant cash whenever they need it.

Nexo will allow users to use their cryptocurrency as collateral to get liquidity without credit checks, exchange fees, taxes or hidden fees. This will enable crypto holders to maintain their position and benefit from any upside potential, while giving them the power to seize any attractive opportunities or meet any immediate obligations.

The Nexo Clients

Cryptocurrency Investors
Cryptocurrency investors can receive immediate funding based on the market value of their Bitcoin, Ethereum or other liquid cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets or utility tokens.

Hedge Funds
Hedge Funds that are holding ICO tokens, cryptocurrencies or any of the multitude of other digital assets will be able to receive instant overdrafts to take new positions in their investments.

ICO and Crypto Companies
ICOs and cryptocurrency based companies can instantly access working capital and meet their immediate financial needs by using Nexo instant crypto overdraft. This will ensure that their operating costs are met on time!

Crypto Miners
Cryptocurrency miners incur many costs to continue their operations, such as maintaining the necessary computing power in order to deal with the increasing difficulties. Instead of having to liquidate their holdings, they will be able to use overdrafts to cover their growing costs while keeping their cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrency Exchanges
Exchanges require liquidity to finance margin lending as well as trading services. They can use Nexo to meet their financial demands to support these services.

Gamers and Virtual Reality Users
There is a massive gaming and VR industry populated with 2.2 billion people and with in-game trades amounting to over $50 billion. Nexo will continue to increase support of digital assets. This will translate into the ability to take overdrafts on in-game items without having to sell the items.

The Nexo Overdraft Process:

Overdrafting

Step 1:
The user puts cryptocurrency into their Nexo overdraft wallet.

Step 2:
The overdraft funds are immediately available via bank transfer or the Nexo Credit Card.

Repayment

The repayment can be arranged in various ways. It can be paid via bank transfer, fiat or cryptocurrency. If the user chooses to pay in Nexo tokens, they will receive discounted rates on the interest fee.

Alternatively, users can pay the balance with a portion of the cryptocurrency holdings they have stored in their Nexo wallet.

Nexo Oracle

Nexo Oracle is the core technology behind Nexo. It is an automated system that provides the overdrafts as well as deals with repayments. It is driven by smart contracts, promoting transparency and efficiency. The Nexo Oracle system has multiple components that communicate with one another in order to offer real-time data and overdraft services.

The NEXO Token

Nexo has filed with the US SEC to ensure they are compliant with all regulations.

  • NEXO tokens are backed by the Overdraft assets portfolio and the investors receive 30% dividends from the company profits.
  • NEXO tokens can be used for discounted overdraft repayments.
  • NEXO tokens can be stored in the overdraft wallet to get discounted interest and an increase in the overdraft limit.

The Nexo Credit Card

Nexo offers a credit card that can be used just as any traditional credit card. The key difference is that funds are made automatically available based on how much is stored in the Nexo wallet. It will also adjust the limit based on any appreciation the cryptocurrencies might have accrued. This means that user can access the instant overdraft function Nexo offers directly via the credit card.

Use-Case

Bob has been an avid cryptocurrency holder as soon as he bought his first bitcoin in 2015. He has since amassed a small fortune of 6 bitcoin.

Bob's house is due for repairs. His garage door recently broke down, and his washing machine has been making clanking noises that could be heard throughout the entire house.

Being a believer in the future of cryptocurrencies, Bob feels uneasy taking out his cryptocurrency savings to pay for the repairs. He is afraid that he going to lose out on the growing price of bitcoin and will regret it later. Bob is at a loss for what to do.

Enter Nexo!

Using Nexo, Bob can simply put a bitcoin in the overdraft wallet and have access to funds instantly. This will allows him to pay for his repairs while keeping him invested in bitcoin. Bob can choose to repay the debt through fiat, his bank, with other cryptocurrency assets or alternatively with a portion of his balance. Whatever Bob chooses, he now has the power to keep his position if he chooses to do so, while having instant cash on hand to spend.

The Nexo Token Sale

The Private Pre-Sale has been oversubscribed by a factor of 5x and the applications for the Public Pre-Sale Whitelist indicated an 11x oversubscription.
The Public Pre-Sale and Main Token Events will not take place due to increased institutional and strategic support.
