Thesis
1/
Nym is the 'Layer 0' privacy stack for the entire internet.
Unlike traditional privacy protocols limited to application-level, Nym targets mass adoption with its Mixnet & VPN.
2/ At a glance:
• Market cap #300, FDV $200M
• Team: MIT, UCL, Chainspace, Google DeepMind, IOHK
• Funding: $24.9M
• Backed by Binance Labs & Polychain & a16z
• $300M Innovation Fund
3/ Regulatory Risks
With increasing scrutiny from regulators and CEXs, privacy coins are facing challenges.
OKX - Delisting (Privacy)
HTX - Monitoring Tag (Privacy)
However, $NYM was not included in the list and is unlikely to be included in the future.
Here's why:
4/ Nym isn't a 'Privacy coin' - Claimed immediately after launch, 2 yrs ago.
In fact, the products developed by Nym, such as Mixnet, zk-nyms, and NymVPN, aim for "Censorship resistance"
*Nym's founders are from the Panoramix project (Received funding from the European Union's), dedicated to privacy.
Simply put, it has no association with Money laundering.5/ NymVPN
Nym plans to launch 'NymVPN' in Q1 2024.
This upcoming release is expected to propel Nym into the DePIN track.
Decentralized VPNs have the potential to drive mass adoption.
*Major VCs have selected DePIN as one of the key narratives for 2024.
