BlockBeats News, February 18 — Nimbus Capital announced a strategic partnership of $15 million with Chimera Wallet, a non-custodial wallet built on Bitcoin VTXO technology, aimed at expanding decentralized finance (DeFi) functions within the Bitcoin ecosystem and promoting the development of programmable financial tools on the Bitcoin network.
The two parties stated that this collaboration will integrate Bitcoin’s underlying security with the programmable capabilities of the Arkade layer built on Bitcoin, providing users with DeFi-related services including asset exchange, lending mechanisms, liquidity functions, fiat on-ramps, and payment integrations, while maintaining control over self-custodied assets.
Chimera founder and director Claudio Levrini said that the partnership combines financial expertise with Bitcoin infrastructure development, with the goal of enhancing Bitcoin’s practical use cases while ensuring self-custody. Nimbus Capital managing partner Robert Baker added that this move will help further integrate Bitcoin into institutional and decentralized scenarios.
According to reports, Chimera plans to accelerate product development through this partnership, including global promotion of the Chimera Visa card to support BTC and fiat conversions, integration of digital gift cards and merchant gateway systems, enhancement of liquidity and cross-chain interoperability, and development of user-end features such as swaps, yield products, and portfolio management.

Bitcoin payments are being adopted in real-world scenarios, with Satlantis entering the event ticketing market through the Lightning Network.
February 24 News, Web3 company Satlantis officially launched a Bitcoin-based live event ticketing platform, supporting direct ticket payments via the Lightning Network, while also being compatible with traditional payment methods such as bank cards and cash. This further promotes the practical application of Bitcoin payments in real-world commercial scenarios. The model aims to reduce payment costs and improve settlement efficiency, providing event organizers and crypto users with more flexible payment options.
Unlike traditional ticketing systems that rely on banks and third-party payment processors, Satlantis has built its core architecture on the Lightning Network, enabling near-instant confirmation and extremely low fees for Bitcoin micro-payments.

Nansen lands in Bhutan GMC, accelerating the formation of the sovereign digital asset ecosystem
February 24 News, the on-chain analytics platform Nansen announced that it will establish a local operational entity in Glep Meditation City (GMC), Bhutan, and form a Bhutan team to provide data analysis and localization support for the continuously expanding digital asset infrastructure in this special administrative region. This move is seen as an important step in Bhutan building a sovereign-level digital asset ecosystem and also reflects the rising demand for on-chain data services and institutional-grade analysis tools in emerging crypto jurisdictions.
According to Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik, this plan is not a headquarters relocation; the company will still keep Singapore as its core base, and this is an addition of a physical entity in GMC. The key reason for choosing Bhutan is its "value-driven" economic zone model, which integrates crypto assets, regulatory frameworks, and financial infrastructure from the ground up, rather than adding digital asset policies retroactively.
