What Is NASDEX (NSDX)?

NASDEX is a decentralized exchange enabling the trading of Asian stocks on-chain. Users will no longer have to maintain multiple centralized trading accounts just to trade equities across different markets. The DEX will allow users the ability to manage all positions, including equity and crypto, across a single platform by simply connecting their wallets. 

The tokenization of stocks will be done through the industry standard, and battle tested, collateralized debt positions which will allow flexibility as well as security for our users, whether one decides to be a minter or trader. This effectively gives our community the power to create as many tokenized stocks as they wish.

In addition to gaining economic exposure to one’s favourite stocks on-chain, NASDEX will also employ the latest DeFi mechanics to create additional yield enhancing opportunities. The users will be able to participate in yield farming, liquidity providing, and trading fee rebates which will significantly enhance what they can earn on top of their stock exposure.

What Are the Utilities of NSDX?

The main function of NSDX is to serve to share in the profit of the DEX. Once the exchange is running, the community will share in the upside by holding $NSDX tokens. NSDX holders will be able to share in the revenues of NASDEX through buy-and-distribute, buy-and-burn, or direct profit share mechanism. Actual mechanics will be voted and adjusted through the DAO by the community. 

Another function of NSDX is to serve as collateral in the minting of tokenized stocks. And finally there are additional governance features like the ability to vote on new stocks to list on the exchange. 

What Makes NASDEX Unique? 

NASDEX is targeting a market with a total combined market cap of over USD100 trillion and a target audience of several hundred million people!

In terms of market size, NASDEX is designed to bring the entire global equity market to crypto investors. Hence, the target market is basically every single listed stock in the world. Through DeFi, which is permission-less and borderless, no market is out of bounds for NASDEX. The entire crypto market is only around USD1.5 trillion. Hence, targeting the global equity market allows NASDEX to target a market that’s 100x the size than a typical DeFi DEX. 

In terms of the audience, NASDEX will be able to welcome a larger user base who’s already familiar with equities. Countries with unstable currencies (Nigeria) and countries with strict capital control (Vietnam). But for major developed countries like US or China, which has possibly one of the highest crypto adoption in the world yet the amount of people who own crypto is only less than 10% of the population according to this research. Yet, the amount of people who own stocks in the US is past 50% and in China that number is similar. This means that although crypto adoption is growing significantly, equity owners still make up the majority of the investors in the world. NASDEX will offer these equity owners a much better platform to do investing in tokenized equity.

Who Are the Founders of NASDEX?

NASDEX was founded by Josh Du and Belinda. Josh has been an institutional portfolio manager with over 15 years of investment experience. He managed funds and teams of upwards of USD 1 billion AUM and is knowledgeable in all asset classes including equity, credit, cryptos. Ex-Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank.

DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to decentralize social media for billions of users.

We believe in empowering an internet that’s creator-led, user-owned, and open to millions of developers around the world to build off one another.

Today, there’s only a handful of big-tech companies that own and control all the information we consume online.

DeSo puts the ownership back in the hands of users, not platforms. Your identity, your profile, your content, and your social graph can now be owned by you in a completely censorship-resistant way.

Creators can now freely monetize in a way they could never do before.

With new crypto-native monetization tools, like Social Tokens, Social DAOs, Social NFTs, Social Tipping, and more — creators have access to monetize their passion and make a living by doing what they love.

Developers can build in a gasless, permissionless, and transparent environment where everything is open and on-chain for ultimate accessibility and composability.

DeSo is built to support storage-heavy or infinite-state applications, opening up a new world of non-financial-based web3 apps that weren’t possible before.

We can now imagine, build and experience the next generation of web3 social.

In the same way, we’ve seen Bitcoin and Ethereum decentralize finance, DeSo is now enabling this for social.

We know our mission is colossal, but we believe the world will be better when users, creators, and developers are put first - not corporations.

It’s time to break free.

Centrifuge is a decentralized asset financing protocol. It connects decentralized finance (DeFi) with real-world assets (RWA) while trying to lower the cost of capital for small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) and provide investors with a stable source of income. The main goal of the project is to generate profits that are not tied to volatile crypto assets; the developers are pursuing the task of transferring real monetary value from fiat to cryptocurrencies.

Companies are using Centrifuge to access the liquidity that DeFi has to offer. They can tokenize real assets and use these tokens as collateral to access financing through Tinlake, a decentralized application (DApp) lending protocol. The Centrifuge blockchain is built on Polkadot (DOT) for speed and low fees, while its financial DApp Tinlake is built to access Ethereum (ETH) liquidity.

Centrifuge provides liquidity to everyone and investors receive income and rewards in the form of CFG tokens. Centrifuge links assets such as invoices, real estate and royalties with decentralized finance (DeFi). Additionally, borrowers benefit from the fact that they can finance their real assets without banks or other intermediaries.
