Wuzu, founded in 2017, operates as a digital asset infrastructure provider, aiming to replicate for the digital asset market the type of infrastructure B3 provides for traditional markets. The company was established in Curitiba, Brazil, by Anderson Nery, Bruno Bertoldi, and Guilherme Zonatto, who foresaw the growth potential of digital assets and the corresponding need for a dedicated operational framework. Before its acquisition, the firm had successfully raised $817K in funding from investors including Bossa Nova, Duxx Investimentos, and Superjobs Venture Capital.
Specializing in B2B solutions, Wuzu offers a comprehensive suite of products delivered through white-label or API formats. Its core business revolves around providing an "exchange as a service" platform for digital assets like tokens and cryptocurrencies. The product lineup is modular and designed for rapid deployment, including services for token issuance, a matching engine for executing trades, an electronic over-the-counter (OTC) desk, cold wallet storage solutions, and platforms for fundraising, equity crowdfunding, and auctions. Wuzu's technology is 100% cloud-based, utilizing blockchain for the settlement and registration of offerings, and includes back-office administration, asset tokenization, and secondary market trading infrastructure.
This business model attracted the attention of 2TM, the holding company for Mercado Bitcoin, one of Latin America's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. In March 2022, 2TM acquired Wuzu to enhance its B2B service offerings and leverage Wuzu's established team and technology. The acquisition allows 2TM to provide a more comprehensive service to B2B clients wanting to operate with crypto assets on their own front-end, integrating Wuzu's infrastructure for services like liquidation and custody.
