According to its website, launched 4th May, the Stockholm-based company seeks to bridge the gap between traditional financial markets and blockchain technology with a soon-to-be launched exchange product.
Though details are scarce, this general focus was further addressed by Simon Nathanson, chairman of Cryex Clearing AB, in statements regarding the round.
Nathanson said:
“Cryex has a unique model to clearing and settlement and has all the necessary components in place; financial-grade architecture and technology partners, a seasoned team and a number of high-profile strategic investors from the financial sector.”
Eric Martineau-Fortin, managing partner at White Star Capital, voiced his enthusiasm for the company's coming market entrance, which he said he hopes will attract "financial institutions into the digital currency ecosystem".
A company statement indicated Cryex has filed a regulation application with the Swedish Finansinspektionen (SFSA), Sweden's government agency responsible for regulation and overseeing the country's financial market.
Notably, Northzone Ventures has previously invested in mobile payments firm iZettle, though neither it nor White Star Capital has a history of financial technology investments.
The SFSA did not respond to requests for comment at the time of press.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Lo que debes saber:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
