NFT Marketplace Tropix raises $2 million in a Seed Funding round led by 2TM Group, the parent company of Mercado Bitcoin.

What is Tropix?

Tropix, is an Non-fungible Token (NFT) marketplace which is led by an experienced team. Its founder Daniel Peres Chor is former Group Director at Multiplan, a Brazilian real-estate company.

Other team members are also highly experienced, including Bernardo Schucman, a data scientist who has been one of the biggest bitcoin miner in Brazil and the U.S. over and one of the creators of Google Meet; Guilherme Nigri, collector and serial investor; Zé Lima, marketing specialist who founded 10 startups, including Boolabs, which was acquired by B2W; Alexandre Icaza, venture builder with over 20 years of experience in private equity.

Tropix currently runs 20 galleries in Brazil, including Zipper, Verve, and Leme, and has 250 launches planned featuring Brazilian artists Toz, Vini Naso, Walter Goldfarb, Gustavo Von Ha, Giselle Beiguelman, Guerreiro do Divino Amor, and Eduardo Kac.

Tropix Seed Funding

The seed funding round was led by 2TM Group, the parent company of Mercado Bitcoin, Latin America’s largest cryptocurrency and digital asset exchange, with the participation of Mago Capital.

This investment comes in two months after the platform made its debut and subsequent establishment in the expanding market – in crypto art – with over 70 pieces by Brazilian artists sold to local and international collectors from countries like the United States, the Netherlands, Mexico, and Hong Kong. 

Daniel Peres Chor, Founder of Tropix, said:

“NFTs empower holders with a variety of assets. We are building a tool that will serve as a registry to galleries and even Ecad, aiding in better controlling of their assets and resources. We’re starting with fine art, but this is just the beginning.”

The firm plans to use the fund to enhance Tropix’s work and expand its offering by building better solutions for NFTs. It will also invest to grow its marketing operations and R&D, and expand its portfolio to feature dozens of more galleries by end of the year.

Roberto Dagnoni, CEO of the 2TM group, commented:

“When it comes to crypto, it’s still natural that Bitcoin is the first to come to mind, but it’s only a first step into a much broader universe, which includes several categories of cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, and non-fungible tokens, the NFTs. This investment is important to us because it gives 2TM entry into a fast-growing segment and the possibility of offering new digital assets on Mercado Bitcoin.”
