HTX Ventures, the global investment arm of the cryptocurrency exchange HTX, has announced a strategic investment in BSX Exchange, a decentralized, non-custodial central limit order book (CLOB) perpetual decentralized exchange built on Base.
Since its launch in April, BSX has facilitated over $4.5 billion in trading volume and recently surpassed $1.3 million in revenue. Its current offerings include both spot and derivative trading. With the recent $4 million seed-round funding, BSX plans to expand its product line further. The platform boasts a highly performant trading engine with 10ms latency and 1000x leverage.
In the coming months, BSX aims to launch several new projects, including a spot aggregator, earning products, and staking products. Additionally, the company plans to introduce a Layer 3 network on Base to optimize the on-chain BSX order book. Looking ahead, BSX also intends to release its own trading game on Telegram and an exclusive NFT collection to attract new users to both Base and BSX.
“BSX operates on top of the Base ecosystem, leveraging its 110 million globally verified users. By providing a strong liquidity foundation for this ecosystem, BSX is poised for significant success,” commented Edward, Managing Partner at HTX Ventures. “BSX serves a large traditional finance customer base, and at HTX Ventures, we are excited to support this Web3 onboarding journey.”
“We’re focused on building a key lego block in the DeFi ecosystem. By launching on Coinbase’s Base L2 we are a key beneficiary of Coinbase’s massive user base moving on-chain to Base and then to DeFi applications. Our vision is to build a consolidated platform including BSX Trade, BSX Earn, and BSX 1000.” Said BSX Team.
