Full description of Nexo
Nexo platform was created in 2017 by Credissimo, a leading European FinTech Group located in Bulgaria, to provide crypto-backed loans. Nexo became their technological innovation with a unique opportunity to use
Cryptocurrency (?) owners’ holdings. It offers a business model when cryptocurrency holders use their assets as collateral to get instant loans. In fact, Nexo has created an instant
Crypto (?) loan system based on
Blockchain (?) technologies.
The peculiarities of the NEXO usage
Instant crypto loans represent the key product offered by Nexo. In order to get a loan, a user needs to create a Nexo
Wallet (?) and to upload crypto assets there. These crypto assets will be treated as collateral eliminating the need to pass any credit checks or other verification procedures. At the same time, Nexo also gives its users an opportunity to earn an 8% interest on most popular
Fiat (?) currencies (USD, EUR, and GBP) as well as on some stable coins.
NEXO
Token (?) is used as collateral on the Nexo platform along with other cryptocurrencies, such as BTC, LTC, ETH, XRP, etc. NEXO token runs on the Ethereum blockchain and is based on the ERC-20 standard. According to the official website of the project, this is a compliant security token with utility features, which is backed by the underlying assets in Nexo’s loan portfolio. The tokens are operated in accordance with the US and other countries’ laws.
The NEXO token holders get regular passive income in the form of 30% of Nexo’s earnings on a periodic basis with dividends paid in BTC, ETH and/or NEXO tokens and/or USD stable coin. Also, token holders receive discounted interest rates (up to 50%) on their crypto loans at the platform.
NEXO tokens can be stored on the official Nexo Wallet. Also, hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S and Trezor support this cryptocurrency, too. Since NEXO is based on Ethereum, it can be stored on MyEtherWallet, TrustWallet, Metamask, and any other ERC-20 compatible wallet. NEXO tokens are available for trading on many cryptocurrency exchanges, including Hotbit, Huobi, and Binance.
