NexPlace is a regulated digital asset marketplace that brings together two worlds in one platform:
- Spot cryptocurrency trading (for example, BTC and other major cryptoassets).
- Access to Regulated Digital Assets (RWAs) issued under a legal framework (for example, regulated instruments that provide real‑world‑backed exposure under published terms).
- It is designed as an access and distribution layer that connects users to both cryptocurrencies and regulated digital assets, while also enabling compliant issuers on the Liquid Network to list, distribute, and trade regulated instruments.
- NexPlace is built to support the global distribution of capital-markets products, including access to regulated on-chain instruments in regions that are traditionally underserved by existing financial infrastructure.
What NexPlace is (and is not)
- NexPlace is an execution and access venue. Users place their own trades and manage their own risk.
- NexPlace is not an investment advisor and does not provide individualized portfolio management or discretionary trading services.
- Nothing in the Knowledge Center or on the platform is investment advice. Digital assets involve risk.
Key concepts you will see on NexPlace
The platform uses a few terms that are important to understand:
- Cryptocurrency: a native digital asset on its own blockchain network (for example, BTC on Bitcoin).
- Stablecoin: a cryptoasset designed to track a reference value (commonly the U.S. dollar). Stablecoins are often used as quote currencies (for example, USDT pairs).
- Regulated Digital Assets (RWAs): regulated instruments issued under a legal framework with public terms (often referenced as a term sheet or Relevant Information Document / RID). These terms define the asset’s backing, rules, and transfer conditions.
- Liquid Network: a Bitcoin layer‑2 used by NexPlace for settlement and issuance of supported regulated assets. Liquid has ~1‑minute blocks and supports issued assets.
- LBTC (Liquid Bitcoin): the “fee currency” on Liquid. Liquid transactions require network fees paid in LBTC.
- Transfer‑restricted assets: regulated assets that can only move between approved (whitelisted) addresses. This is common for regulated issuances.
- AMP ID: the receiving identifier used in compatible Liquid wallets for certain regulated/transfer‑restricted assets. It is typically required for issuer‑level whitelisting.
How NexPlace relates to NexBridge
NexPlace is the trading venue. NexBridge is an issuer of regulated digital assets that may be listed on NexPlace for secondary trading.
NexBridge issuance are transfer restricted (common feature for regulated instruments), therefore additional controls apply:
- The issuer may require your Liquid wallet address / AMP ID to be whitelisted before you can receive the asset in self‑custody (issuer‑level whitelisting).
Where to find the official terms for regulated digital assets
For every regulated digital asset listed on NexPlace, review its published terms (RID/ term sheet) in the product details. The terms define:
- What the asset represents (exposure / backing).
- Transfer rules (including whether whitelisting is required).
- Settlement network (for example, Liquid).
- Any other constraints (for example, eligibility, restrictions, or redemption rules if applicable).
