NEXPACE Announces $50M MSU Ecosystem Fund Expansion

Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE, Date: November 19th, 2025, Chainwire

NEXPACE has launched a new Ecosystem Fund to support growth in gaming, digital finance, and builder communities. This fund is an important step toward making MapleStory Universe a long-lasting and connected Web3 ecosystem.

The NEXPACE Ecosystem Fund is supported by well-known advisory partners such as Altos Ventures, Chainlink Labs, GSR, and Hashed Ventures. These partners bring strong knowledge of blockchain technology, digital assets, and online systems.

NEXPACE is the Web3 project behind MapleStory Universe (MSU). The company announced that the Ecosystem Fund plans to invest up to US$50 million. The main goal is to support the long-term growth of MapleStory Universe and the wider NEXPACE ecosystem. The fund is designed to help build an open and stable Web3 platform that supports new and better gaming experiences.

The fund does more than help people join Web3. It also focuses on building strong basics. These include payment systems, digital tools, and support for builders. This helps communities create new digital worlds where players can play games, create content, and take part in digital economies in one shared space.

Building Strong Foundations for Web3

NEXPACE is linked to Nexon, a global company known for creating and running online games. Through the Ecosystem Fund, NEXPACE plans to invest in areas that help the ecosystem work better. These areas include digital payment systems, artificial intelligence (AI), real-world assets on blockchain, and tools for builders.

The fund is not only focused on games. It also aims to fix common problems seen in many blockchain game projects. These problems include poor connections between platforms and systems that do not work well together. Every investment made through the fund will go through a careful review process to make sure it supports long-term growth.

“The future of gaming depends on real use and long-term value,” said Sunyoung Hwang, CEO of NEXPACE. “This fund supports our work beyond games and helps us build a connected digital world. In this world, finance, AI, and builders work together to support players.”

Growing the Ecosystem Through Partnerships

The Ecosystem Fund will help NEXPACE expand into global blockchain and entertainment markets. It will support early test projects and future growth plans. To help with this, NEXPACE has signed agreements with selected advisory partners.

These partners include Altos Ventures, Chainlink Labs, GSR, and Hashed Ventures. They will work closely with NEXPACE by sharing ideas, offering guidance, and opening access to their networks. Their role is to help find good projects, support new teams, and build strong parts of the ecosystem together.

The focus of these partnerships is long-term value, not quick profits. This approach matches NEXPACE’s goal of building a stable and healthy Web3 ecosystem.

NXPC and MapleStory N Power the Ecosystem

The MapleStory Universe ecosystem is built around the NXPC token and MapleStory N. These tools allow players to own digital items, use open marketplaces, and take part in community platforms called Synergy Apps.

NEXPACE follows an idea called the “Infinite IP Playground.” This means the MapleStory brand continues to grow through player ideas and builder creativity. A key part of this system is Metaplay. Metaplay lets users access important game features like item upgrades and trading on both web and mobile devices.

This system makes it easy for users to join and take part. It also supports new ideas across different apps and platforms.

The ecosystem is not limited to MapleStory N. Community members are encouraged to create new ways to experience the MapleStory world. This leads to new game styles, new interactions, and creative projects that go beyond traditional games.

“The Ecosystem Fund will support the next stage of growth for MapleStory Universe,” Sunyoung Hwang added. “By bringing gaming, finance, and AI together, we are building a strong base for a lasting Web3 world.”

A Long-Term Plan for Digital Entertainment

The launch of the Ecosystem Fund shows NEXPACE’s long-term plan to build a player-focused digital economy. It supports a future where games, technology, and creativity work together to shape digital entertainment.
