Today I’m speaking at Bitcoin Capital Summit in San Salvador. On stage twice: a keynote + a panel with @fedesuarez68
@adam3us @sagungarg, and in my keynote, “El Salvador Blueprint for Inclusive Access,” I’ll share why NexBridge built NexPlace: issuance is only step one.

[NexBridge @NexBridge_RWA]

Yesterday’s AMA with @XTexchange had to be postponed due to the global outage caused by a major Cloudflare incident, which affected X Spaces and several other platforms worldwide.

We’re now rescheduling the session for today at the same time:

📅 Today, November 19, 2025
⏰ 8pm Beijing | 4pm Dubai | 1pm CET | 6am San Salvador

Looking forward to reconnecting in a few hours.

This week we celebrated our 2-year anniversary with a team-building offsite with the whole crew.

NexBridge was founded in El Salvador with one mission: to build a regulated bridge between traditional finance and Bitcoin, starting with U.S. Treasuries and laying the foundation for a blockchain-native capital market.

In two years we’ve:

🔸Launched USTBL, the first public, regulated U.S. Treasury-backed digital asset issued on Bitcoin (Liquid)
🔸Reached $30M in issuance
🔸Earned an A rating from Particula
🔸Secured our Series A to scale Bitcoin-native capital markets
🔸Grown from 1 to 29 team members -> We Are Hiring!

And this is only the beginning:

🔜 OTC Desk launching
🔜 New CEX listings to be announced

Regulated. Liquid. Trusted.

@AudreyNesbitt11 Definitively

[Michele Crivelli @michelecrivelli]

The future is built step by step.
Another milestone: USTBL earns an ‘A’ rating from Particula—
Setting the standard for regulated digital assets on Bitcoin.

USTBL receives ‘A’ rating from @particula_io

USTBL, issued by NEXBRIDGE, has received an ‘A’ rating from Particula, a leading independent digital asset rating agency, setting a new benchmark for regulated digital assets on Bitcoin.

Particula’s rating highlighted key institutional safeguards, including:

• Compliant access to U.S. Treasury yield, via Bitcoin’s @Liquid_BTC

• Regulation applied directly at the token level—not just the underlying asset

• Monthly proof-of-reserve attestations by Grant Thornton

• Issuer-level control and auditability, powered by @Blockstream AMP

• Minimum investment of $1, designed to expand global access

“This rating affirms the institutional quality of what we’re building—and why it matters. Treasury access, transparently delivered via Bitcoin rails.” — @michelecrivelli, CEO

USTBL is more than a product—it’s a sign that regulated digital infrastructure is maturing, with Bitcoin at its foundation.

Not everything that starts early becomes meaningful.
But everything meaningful starts early.

Building capital markets on Bitcoin won’t happen overnight.

But we now have the tools to do it right—from infrastructure to regulation, and the vision to connect them.

Grateful to the teams, investors, and partners who are walking this path with us.

This is just the beginning.

💥 Gold on the blockchain? It’s more than hype.

I spoke with @forgeforth_ for @Cointelegraph about how tokenization can bring clarity to commodity markets—starting with gold.

Blockchain’s transparency could finally settle the debate about U.S. reserves. 🏦

Huge thanks to @forgeforth_ and @Cointelegraph for the insightful coverage!

Would you trust tokenized gold?

@JoeNakamoto Well, this looks like a trend to me

[Joe Nakamoto ⚡️ @JoeNakamoto]

Seeing this trending.

Surely it cannot be true

1st time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $4k
2nd time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $3.9k
3rd time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $3.7k
4th time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $3.4k
5th time BTC hits $100k , ETH is at $3k
6th time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $2.7k

[Michele Crivelli @michelecrivelli]

@Cointelegraph If these assets are all available for investment, and you can accept volatility and have a long time horizon, then I would buy 250k BTC and then implement a weekly accumulation plan for BTC

[Michele Crivelli @michelecrivelli]

The U.S. is following El Salvador’s Web3 playbook… but can it actually work? 🤔

I broke it down with @VinceQuill at @Cointelegraph—regulations can either fuel Web3 growth or slow its progress. Read the article here: https://t.co/j6IEYW4X94 🔗

Big thanks to @VinceQuill & @Cointelegraph. Will the U.S. lead Web3 innovation, or is uncertainty its biggest roadblock? Let’s talk. 🚀

The tokenization market feels like the next thing to watch here in the U.S. as regulations surrounding blockchain technology and digital assets get ironed out over the next year.

I spoke to @NexBridgeSV founder @michelecrivelli yesterday who’s tokenizing U.S. Treasuries in El Salvador where regulatory restrictions are de minimus. He told me he hopes friendlier regulation surrounding tokenization in the U.S. will lead to expanded DeFi adoption.

Meanwhile, @BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said at Davos last week he wants the @SECGov to ‘rapidly approve the tokenization of bonds and stocks.’

He told @FoxBusiness this week it would lead to “democratization for all financial assets.”

🌟 What's my takeaway from Trump's Crypto Executive Order?

Small nations lead, superpowers follow. 💪🌍

When El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender, it faced skepticism. But its vision—financial inclusion, attracting investment, and clear crypto frameworks—paid off. Now, the U.S. is borrowing from this playbook to rethink its crypto strategy. 🚀🇺🇸

Here’s what I know from El Salvador's approach to Bitcoin and digital assets:

👉 Financial Inclusion: Bitcoin provided access to financial services for the unbanked. 🏦✨
👉 Attracting Investment: Pro-Bitcoin policies turned heads globally and attracted companies like NexBridge. 🌎💼
👉 Clear Regulations: A framework for crypto innovation emerged, allowing us to tokenize U.S. Treasury Bonds and sell over $30 million. 💵🔗

Both El Salvador and the U.S. are embracing Bitcoin over CBDCs, signaling a shift toward decentralized finance. 💡⚡

Could this be the blueprint for global economic empowerment? 🌐

🌐 Breaking News: The U.S. follows El Salvador's lead in Bitcoin adoption! 🇺🇸🇸🇻⚡

President Donald Trump just signed an executive order aimed at transforming the U.S. into the global crypto capital. Key initiatives include the creation of a national Bitcoin reserve, guaranteed banking access for crypto and tokenized asset companies, and a firm stance against CBDCs.

El Salvador has been a pioneer in leveraging Bitcoin and tokenized assets to boost its economy—could this be the start of a new global trend? 🌍🇸🇻💡
