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.
