Cryptocurrency lending platform Nexo said Monday it plans to return to the U.S. market in 2026, three years after settling an SEC lawsuit over its offerings.

Last year, President Donald Trump inaugurated a golf course in Scotland ahead of the inaugural Nexo Championship. The launch ceremony included Nexo co-founders Antoni Trenchev and Kosta Kantchev.
