In Dubai, Nexum has been quietly developing a blockchain-powered solution poised to transform global financial management. Their mission is to bridge traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi), providing innovative, industry-specific solutions for maritime transport, trade finance, and commodities. Amid global economic inefficiencies and regulatory hurdles, Nexum’s blockchain approach promises faster, more secure, and inclusive financial transactions. **The Problem: Inefficient Financial Systems** Traditional financial systems underpin global commerce but suffer from slow transactions, high fees, and opacity—especially in sectors like maritime transport. This sector, vital to global trade, faces fraud, payment delays, and limited capital access for small businesses. Recognizing these issues, Nexum harnessed blockchain’s decentralized, transparent, and secure nature to overcome these longstanding challenges, replacing outdated layered processes with faster, clearer, and fairer financial operations. **Bridging Traditional and Decentralized Finance** Nexum envisions a future where traditional finance and DeFi complement rather than conflict, leveraging blockchain’s strengths while adhering to regulatory standards. Their suite of practical products targets immediate industry needs. - **Nexum Hub:** This flagship product decentralizes the storage of personal KYC data using identity-linked NFTs, ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR and the Travel Rule. By safeguarding privacy and enhancing security, the Hub enables businesses and users to navigate global financial regulations confidently, effectively bridging blockchain and traditional finance. - **Blockchain-Powered Lending Platform:** Focused initially on maritime trade, where financial processes are often slow and complex, this platform simplifies lending by utilizing blockchain’s immutable ledger.

It supports both fiat and stablecoin payments for faster cross-border transactions, real-time risk and counterparty evaluations, and tamper-proof reporting—building trust and improving efficiency. The goal is to “unbank” the maritime sector, removing barriers to modern financial services. - **Nexum Yield:** Expanding access to credit, Nexum Yield allows individuals to finance bunker fuel—the $150 billion essential fuel market for maritime vessels—via stablecoin deposits (USDC, USDT). With asset-backed guarantees, users earn fixed interest while supporting a crucial global trade sector, democratizing participation in trade finance. **Future Developments** Beyond these, Nexum is developing blockchain-based certificates and closed-loop transaction solutions tailored to diverse sectors, all focused on integrating blockchain into real-world finance. Their approach emphasizes solving tangible problems over innovation for its own sake. **Redefining Finance** Nexum leads in merging blockchain with traditional finance to boost transparency, speed, and accessibility. By bridging two worlds, they unlock new opportunities for businesses and individuals alike. As the future of finance increasingly embraces blockchain, Nexum is committed to making this future widely accessible.
