admin Nexo officially returned to the United States on Monday morning following a three-year hiatus. This strategic move follows intense legal clashes as the company now seeks market share. They previously exited the domestic market in 2023 after paying significant regulatory settlement fines. Specifically, they settled Securities and Exchange Commission charges totaling forty-five million dollars back then.
The firm halted its original lending products while the landscape changed for the industry. Nexo now partners with Bakkt to provide fully compliant and secure crypto-backed loans. They will offer yield-generating products through various licensed investment advisory channels across the country. This new structure ensures that all services meet current American financial standards and requirements.
Meanwhile, the firm’s leadership cultivated high-profile connections within the current presidential administration recently. Co-founder Antoni Trenchev met with President Donald Trump in Scotland to discuss digital assets. Nexo also hosted Donald Trump Jr. at a major business event in Bulgaria recently. These interactions suggest a warming relationship between the crypto industry and various political leaders.
Nexo insists its return relies solely on its new compliant and transparent business model. A company spokesperson clarified that sports sponsorships did not influence their legal standing today. The current offering follows a completely different framework as the Trump family expands ventures. For instance, the Trump Organization recently launched the popular World Liberty Financial crypto platform.
Critics raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest regarding these specific political ties now. The White House maintains that no ethical violations exist in these high-level partnerships today. The SEC notably softened its stance toward the crypto sector for many firms lately. Nexo believes its product suite will appeal to many institutional investors seeking growth opportunities. This comeback signals a major turning point for the entire digital asset economy globally.
