BTG NeXus Fund

The nation’s first, student-led digital asset fund!

NeXus / ‘nekses’/ (noun)

  • A connected series or link
  • A means of connection; a tie; a link

NeXus is BTG’s digital asset fund investing in Web3 technologies such as cryptocurrencies, non-fungible-tokens (NFTs), and more.

The fund is deliberately designed to provide BTG students interested in finance with a one-of-a-kind, hands-on learning experience through a structured, thesis-driven approach. The returns NeXus generates will be invested right back into the fund and towards the professional development of our students.

NeXus is an endowment management fund. Donors support the BTG NeXus Fund as they are passionate about providing opportunities for BIPOC students to gain hands-on investing experience and become a future leader in the finance industry.
