According to founder Minik Kim, the fundraise signals a broader shift in the industry. “This round shows that AI-powered restaking is moving from narrative to real infrastructure. Danal brings not only capital but real-world financial connectivity for our next phase of growth.”

Building the AI Execution Layer for Restaking and Arbitrage

Nexton Solutions is developing a unified AI-based infrastructure designed to automate and optimize yield generation across multiple blockchains and liquidity venues. The platform is powered by two core modules:

1. Nexton-ai — AI Arbitrage Routing Engine

The engine scans decentralized exchanges such as STON.fi, DeDust, EVAA, along with centralized exchanges including Binance and Hyperliquid, to identify profitable, risk-adjusted trades.
Its goal is to generate real PnL-based yield, not emissions-driven rewards.

2. Nexton-re — Automated Restaking Module

This module enables users to:

• Stake TON and other assets

• Mint performance-tracking staking NFTs

• Execute layered restaking strategies across chains

All of this occurs within a Telegram-native execution environment, requiring no dashboards, browser extensions, or manual interfaces — a major differentiator in onboarding mainstream APAC users.

Strong Traction Across Asia

Nexton has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing AI yield layers within the TON ecosystem, especially across Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Current traction includes:

• $3M+ TVL

• 60,000+ monthly active users

• 75+ ecosystem partners across TON, Kaia, Base, and BNB Chain

• AI strategies delivering 70–90% APY

• 40%+ cumulative ROI from real arbitrage PnL

This growth positions Nexton as a leading AI execution engine in TON and a rising force in the broader restaking landscape.

Danal’s Strategic Role

As a regulated payments leader, Danal brings significant real-world value:

• Fiat on/off-ramps integrated directly into TON-based DeFi

• FATF-aligned compliance frameworks

• Distribution channels across major APAC banks, fintechs, and payment networks

“Partnering with Danal connects Nexton directly to real-world financial rails,” said Kim. “It enables a seamless flow from fiat to AI-optimized yield.”

Expansion Plans: More Chains, More Markets, More Users

The new investment will fuel Nexton’s expansion across TON, KAIA, Base, and BNB Chain, as well as strengthen its AI execution capabilities.

Near-term roadmap:

• Multi-route and cross-venue upgrades for Nexton-ai

• APAC-focused Telegram-native growth funnels

• Scaling Restake Asia Season 1

• Preparing the NXT token private round and ecosystem campaign

Nexton’s broader goal is to surpass 500,000 organic users and establish itself as the default AI execution layer for restaking and arbitrage globally.

About Nexton Solutions

Nexton Solutions develops AI-powered execution infrastructure that automates yield generation across blockchains and liquidity venues. Its core products — Nexton-ai (AI arbitrage engine) and Nexton-re (restaking module) — are integrated into a frictionless Telegram interface, delivering sustainable yields backed by real arbitrage profit.

According to the exchange’s announcement, the rollout will take place in three waves:

Wave 1 – November 27
New listings: HBAR/IDR, MANTA/IDR, SCR/IDR, WLD/IDR

Wave 2 & 3 – November 29
Pairs include: ASTER/IDR, FLOKI/IDR, WIF/IDR, ADA/IDR, BTC/IDR, DOGE/IDR, XRP/IDR, among many others.

IDR — the official currency of Indonesia — will now serve as a direct quote currency for dozens of top crypto assets, making it easier for Indonesian traders to buy and sell tokens without converting to U.S. dollars or stablecoins first.

Indonesia remains one of the world’s most active crypto markets. Chainalysis ranks the country 7th globally in crypto adoption, ahead of major economies like the UK, Turkey, and Russia.

Despite Binance’s reputation for triggering major market moves with new listings, the announcement had little effect on the price of the involved digital assets. Unlike first-time token listings, new fiat trading pairs generally do not spark volatility.

Alongside its expansion, Binance will also conduct routine maintenance on trading pairs with weak performance. The exchange confirmed it will delist BMT/FDUSD, GMT/BTC, ME/BTC, and TOWNS/FDUSD on November 28 due to low liquidity.

Binance clarified that delisting a pair does not affect the availability of the underlying tokens:
“Users can still trade the spot trading pair’s base and quote assets on other trading pair(s) that are available on Binance,” the exchange noted.

Earlier in October, Binance fully terminated support for Flamingo (FLM), Kadena (KDA), and Perpetual Protocol (PERP), triggering steep price declines as assets typically face reduced liquidity and visibility post-delisting.

The latest IDR expansion underscores Binance’s ongoing effort to strengthen its presence in Indonesia — a market that continues to show strong retail and institutional demand for digital assets.

The FCA said insights from the sandbox trials will help shape its approach to upcoming rules that will mandate detailed disclosures from licensed crypto exchanges operating in the United Kingdom.

New disclosure rules coming in 2026

The regulator began rolling out its broader crypto marketing and consumer-protection regime in October, introducing stricter rules for promotions aimed at retail investors. UK-based crypto firms are already required to display prominent risk warnings in marketing materials and during customer onboarding.

But the upcoming framework goes far beyond those standards. Under the new rules, expected to be finalized in the second half of 2026, exchanges will need to provide detailed information about every crypto asset they list — including risk factors, custody arrangements, fees, spreads, and the terms of any staking or yield products.

The FCA is also expected to require separate disclosure formats for:

• Unbacked cryptocurrencies
• Fiat-backed stablecoins
• Tokenized assets

Each asset will need documentation outlining risks related to issuance, custody models, and market structure.

Eunice developing standardized solution

Regulatory technology startup Eunice, admitted into the FCA sandbox, is developing a standardized disclosure system aimed at simplifying the process for exchanges and improving transparency for investors.

Eunice is working with Coinbase, Kraken, and Crypto.com to test templates that could eventually inform the core structure of the FCA’s final rulebook.

The expanded disclosure requirements are expected to significantly increase compliance burdens, with regulators acknowledging the risk of excessive paperwork unless systems are streamlined — a gap the sandbox initiative aims to address.

What investors may see

If the final regime mirrors existing frameworks used in traditional finance, detailed filings for each crypto asset will likely be paired with a one-page fact sheet summarizing key risks and information for retail investors.

In a statement released Tuesday, Robinhood said the joint venture — controlled by Robinhood Markets Inc. — will acquire MIAXdx, a Derivatives Clearing Organization and Swap Execution Facility operated by Miami International Holdings. MIAXdx is already a designated contract market regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

As part of the agreement, MIAX will retain a 10% equity stake in the new exchange. Susquehanna will serve as a day-one liquidity provider, with more partners expected to join before launch. The upcoming exchange is scheduled to begin operations in 2026, offering a suite of futures, derivatives, and prediction-market contracts.

“Robinhood is seeing strong customer demand for prediction markets, and we’re excited to build on that momentum,” said JB Mackenzie, VP and general manager of futures and international at Robinhood. “Our investment in infrastructure will position us to deliver an even better experience and more innovative products for customers.”

Robinhood emphasized that prediction markets have become the company’s fastest-growing product line by revenue, with more than 9 billion contracts traded by over 1 million customers so far.

The company has steadily expanded in the space throughout 2025. In March, it partnered with Kalshi to introduce a prediction-markets hub covering U.S. politics, macroeconomic indicators, and sports. By August, new sports-related markets tied to the NFL and NCAA football had also gone live.

The new exchange marks a strategic shift as Robinhood and its partners prepare to compete in a regulated prediction-market landscape, aiming to capture rising demand for event-driven financial products in the United States.

According to the disclosure filed on the Financial Supervisory Service’s DART system, Dunamu will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naver Financial through a stock-swap transaction. The filing states that 1 Dunamu share will be exchanged for 2.5422618 Naver Financial shares, with the effective date set for June 30, 2026.

To complete the transaction, Naver Financial will issue 87.56 million new shares, valued at approximately 15.13 trillion won ($10.28 billion). Each Naver Financial share was priced at 172,780 won ($117.47) for the deal.

Naver Financial said the merger aims to “secure future growth momentum based on digital assets,” reflecting a strategic shift as South Korea works to establish itself as a global leader in digital finance. While both companies will deepen operational and strategic cooperation, detailed structural changes within Naver Financial have yet to be announced.

Earlier reports suggested that Upbit may seek a Nasdaq listing following the merger, but the company has not confirmed any IPO plans.

The merger joins two of South Korea’s most influential digital players. Naver, established in 1999, operates the country’s biggest search engine and an extensive fintech network through Naver Pay. The company posted 3.14 trillion won ($2.32 billion) in revenue and 570.6 billion won ($422.67 million) in operating profit during the third quarter.

Dunamu, meanwhile, continues to benefit from increased trading activity on Upbit. The firm reported 385.9 billion won ($262.87 million) in Q3 revenue, up 35% quarter-over-quarter, while net profit surged 145% to 239 billion won ($162.8 million).

If completed as planned, the merger will create one of Asia’s most powerful digital finance alliances, blending Naver’s fintech infrastructure with Dunamu’s dominance in blockchain and cryptocurrency services — setting the stage for major disruption in South Korea’s financial landscape.
