NEXPACE Launches $50M Ecosystem Fund for MapleStory Universe Growth
NEXPACE has unveiled a US$50 million Ecosystem Fund to drive long-term growth of the MapleStory Universe and its broader Web3 ecosystem. The fund will invest in gaming, digital finance, AI, tokenized real-world assets and the builder economy, with all proposals subject to an internal review process. Strategic advisory partners Altos Ventures, Chainlink Labs, GSR and Hashed Ventures will provide mentorship and network support. CEO Sunyoung Hwang said the initiative will catalyze the next phase of interactive entertainment by combining digital finance, AI and community-driven innovation. Anchored by the NXPC token and MapleStory N, the ecosystem supports true asset ownership, decentralized marketplaces, Synergy Apps and features like Metaplay for cross-platform in-game item trading. This move establishes sustainable financial rails and sets new standards for Web3 gaming interoperability and player-driven economies.
Bullish
The launch of a US$50 million Ecosystem Fund directly strengthens NEXPACE’s core NXPC token by fueling demand through new infrastructure, partnerships and utilities. In the short term, trader sentiment is likely to turn positive as advisory support from Altos Ventures, Chainlink Labs, GSR and Hashed Ventures enhances credibility. Over the long term, sustained investment in gaming, digital finance, AI and tokenized assets should drive broader adoption of NXPC, boost trading volume and reinforce price support by expanding use cases in the MapleStory Universe and decentralized marketplaces.
