Coin98 Ventures Joined $1M Seed Round in Asia-focused cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform, FMX

Today, we're delighted to announce that Coin98 Ventures has joined a $1 million seed round in FMX, a cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform that aims to simplify and gamify futures trading. The seed round was led by Kyros Ventures, the investment branch of Coin68 Media.

FMX represents an essential next step in the natural evolution of the crypto sphere, one that will make futures trading more accessible and financially attractive to millions of users across Asia. The investment aligns with our desire to support Asian Solana developers, as shown by the recently launched $5M Solana Ecosystem Fund.

The platform delivers an awe-inspiring end-customer experience and creative gamification, making futures trading simple for both experienced crypto-veterans and novices. Furthermore, FMX takes advantage of deep liquidity and up-to-date trading pairs from FTX, vital for loyal users' loyalty to a trading platform. The FMX team gathers dedicated builders who lead top-tier trading communities in Vietnam and genuinely listen to traders' minds; therefore, everything created by the team is tailor suited for Asian users.

FMT is the native utility token of FMX that will be issued on Solana, a web-scale, Layer 1 blockchain capable of handling up to 50,000 transactions per second (TPS). In addition to speed, network-wide transaction costs are extremely low, usually around $0.00001, making it easy to onboard new users and facilitate high-speed exchanges without exorbitant gas fees or additional overhead.

Including Coin98 Ventures' support in funding, advisory, marketing, and community support, we believe FMX will be a spearhead towards mass adoption of the playing field. Solana blockchain will undoubtedly be adopted more extensively in Asia, one of the most vibrant spots worldwide since the early days of crypto.

“Solana is a renowned ecosystem that has made a breakthrough over the past year. With the same vision of our recently launched $5M Solana ecosystem fund, we have decided to participate in funding for FMX. I believe that with the advantages of the community, the principles of a platform made by the community and for the community, FMX will be a striking name of the cryptocurrency futures trading sector in Asia.” - said Thanh Le, founder of Coin98 Finance.
