TWO TWO is a US-based gallery that combines physical and virtual art with NFT and DeFi mechanics to create an immersive, community-driven art platform. Its core product is an ecosystem linking physical art sales, NFT drops, liquidity pools, staking and a governance token (X22) that gives holders DAO voting rights. The platform includes a buy-back and lockup scheme for X22, staking yields, NFT marketing services and plans for self-service NFT minting and art-loan uses of the token. TWO TWO says its DeFi features are aimed at providing capital to art projects globally and creating multiple independent revenue streams. The company names Emmy-Award winner Alan Tietel, unprinted Jimi Hendrix negatives and Nick Walker among featured artists and plans further partnerships and drops. TWO TWO also plans to list X22 tokens on several exchanges and to launch an IDO as part of its rollout.

Zignaly provides a social investment platform that lowers the barrier to entry for investors seeking exposure to digital assets by enabling vetted expert traders and fund managers to manage portfolios on behalf of members. The platform supports multi-chain, multi-exchange operations and a native ZIG token, with sales and IDOs across Ethereum ERC20, BSC, Polygon, Solana, Harmony, Avalanche and other blockchains. Zignaly serves the industry’s top traders and funds and offers profit-sharing arrangements so members can let experts handle trading while sharing in the profits. The company recently launched ZIGPAD, a launchpad-style incubator and investment network to facilitate fundraising and cross-chain IDOs for blockchain projects. To date, members have invested more than USD $120 million across the portfolios of more than 300 vetted traders and fund managers. Led by CEO Bartolome Bordallo and based in Singapore, Zignaly says it will use new capital to support global expansion. Zignaly operates a consumer-facing crypto social investment platform whose NFT-based, profit-sharing service allows professional digital-asset traders to manage other users’ investments through pooled accounts. Neither the company nor the traders charge upfront fees; profits are distributed automatically and are performance-based. The platform is integrated with major exchanges including Binance, with several other exchanges slated to go live soon. Zignaly has been generating revenue since 2018 and reports over 60,000 registered users who have traded more than $1.7 billion in volume. Led by CEO Bartolome Bordallo, the company intends to use the new funds for R&D, UX improvements and to continue growth of its insurance protocol.
