BnkToTheFuture

BnkToTheFuture is an online investment platform and venture syndicate founded in 2010 by Simon Dixon and Bliss Dixon. Based in George Town, Cayman Islands, the platform connects qualifying professional investors with early-stage equity rounds and token offerings in financial technology and digital assets. Simon Dixon serves as chief executive officer, having previously backed early infrastructure and exchange businesses across the sector.

Investment model and portfolio

The platform pools capital into syndicates and special purpose vehicles, enabling private investors to co-invest alongside venture firms in financial services startups, crypto payment networks, and digital exchanges. Deal access is tied to platform membership, which incorporates its native utility token, BFT. BnkToTheFuture has backed more than a dozen companies, concentrating primarily on Series A rounds and private equity allocations.

Notable historical investments include leading a $1 million equity round for Factom in July 2015 and participating in a $760,000 equity financing for Bitwage in November 2015. In November 2019, the firm completed a strategic investment in United States broker-dealer BMI Capital alongside Coinstreet Partners. It also facilitated a $15 million equity round for Celsius Network in June 2020. Other holdings across its investment history include FV Bank, Kraken, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, ShapeShift, and Securitize.

Recent developments

Platform updates have centered on secondary liquidity for private shares. In March 2025, BnkToTheFuture introduced a price cap mechanism on its secondary market to manage order execution and valuation boundaries for traded private equity holdings.
