Morgan International Finance Ltd acknowledges the completion of an $8 million strategic financing round by AetheriumX, the flagship product developed under its Web3 infrastructure subsidiary, Morgan Web3 Labs Ltd.
The financing round, participated in by CGV, GAINS Associates, DuckDAO, and Genesis Capital, represents an important external validation of AetheriumX’s system architecture and long-term development direction. More importantly, it reflects growing market recognition of structured, non-custodial, and execution-driven Web3 financial infrastructure as a viable foundation for sustainable ecosystem growth.
According to the official announcement, the newly raised capital will be deployed toward ecosystem expansion initiatives, including protocol optimization, the scaling of strategy execution capabilities, developer and studio incubation through an ecosystem fund, and structured regional expansion across the Asia-Pacific market, with particular attention to Japan and South Korea.

From a group-level perspective, this milestone aligns closely with Morgan International Finance Ltd’s long-standing focus on infrastructure-first digital finance, where capital coordination, execution logic, and governance design take precedence over short-term yield optimization.
AetheriumX is built on the Distributed Capital Intelligence Protocol (DCIP), a framework designed to coordinate non-custodial on-chain assets through programmable strategy execution layers. Rather than positioning itself as a single-purpose yield product, the protocol architecture emphasizes participatory growth, composability, and verifiable execution—key attributes increasingly demanded by both institutional and advanced market participants.
The system’s dual-token structure further reflects this design philosophy. Within the ecosystem, AXT functions as the primary medium for participation and strategy execution mapping, while VEXA is dedicated to governance, coordination, and system-level risk management. This separation is intended to support long-term ecosystem operations and collaborative value creation, rather than speculative or incentive-driven activity.
From Morgan International Finance Ltd’s standpoint, the significance of this financing round extends beyond capital inflow. It marks the transition of AetheriumX from foundational validation into a structured ecosystem expansion phase—one that prioritizes auditability, transparent governance, and scalable execution logic. These principles closely mirror the group’s broader strategic view on how Web3 infrastructure should evolve to integrate responsibly with global financial systems.
Looking ahead, Morgan International Finance Ltd will continue to support and observe the development of enterprise-grade Web3 infrastructure through its subsidiaries and affiliated initiatives. The group remains committed to advancing financial systems that are transparent by design, verifiable by default, and capable of supporting long-term economic coordination on-chain.
