Our Story

NexBridge was founded in August 2023, inspired by the innovative Digital Asset Law introduced in El Salvador. Our founder, Michele Crivelli, brings extensive experience in traditional finance, having worked as a bank wealth manager and currently serving as an independent asset manager in Switzerland. With in-depth knowledge of Swiss Digital Asset Laws and the crypto banking ecosystem, Michele saw an opportunity to drive broader adoption while upholding high regulatory standards in a more agile environment. Our initial goal was to offer reliable, low-volatility investment alternatives for digital investors, focusing on blockchain technology and global compliance.

While navigating this evolving ecosystem posed early challenges, our deep understanding of local dynamics helped us achieve important milestones. We concentrated on tokenizing publicly listed financial instruments—where trust in the underlying assets already existed—emphasizing the security of the technology and compliance. NexBridge quickly saw success, securing approval for its first public issuance, USTBL, and registering as a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP), which allowed us to extend our services to other issuers.

We see tokenized assets as the backbone of future financial systems. To achieve success, we believe in leading from the start, eliminating biases and proving through actions that sustainable evolution is possible. Our values of collaboration, innovation, and flexibility drive our company culture, which breaks away from traditional constraints. By partnering with global leaders and collaborating closely with regulators, NexBridge is poised for global expansion, ensuring that our solutions meet the highest standards for widespread adoption.
