SINGAPORE – ZKEX.com, the industry’s first multi-chain Super DEX, has raised $2.5 million in its latest funding round.

The round saw participation from Fenbushi Capital, KXVC, RockTree Capital, NGC Ventures, L2 Iterative Ventures, Crypto.com Capital, IDG Blockchain, Whale Ground, Moonhill Capital, Blocklabs Capital, Optic Capital, Hyperithm Group, and G20 Group.
