xPortal, the AI-powered DeFi super-app, has acquired Alphalink, a Berlin-based Web3 startup recognized for delivering delightfully simple crypto experiences through its mobile app. The acquisition marks a major milestone in xPortal’s goal to simplify crypto and financial investing.

With over 2.5 million users and a 4.8-star rating from 70K+ app store reviews, xPortal combines crypto, real-world functionality, and AI into a single, user-friendly mobile app.

xPortal launched in 2023 as the wallet for the MultiversX blockchain (prev. Elrond) and quickly expanded into multi-chain territory, integrating Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon and more.

As part of its growth strategy, xPortal is raising capital in an anticipated oversubscribed round while making a full-scale push into AI, expanding into the U.S. and launching a native token to its ecosystem

Active xPortal users will also benefit from lucrative opportunities that will further fuel the ecosystem.

Empowered Leadership

 

Through the acquisition, xPortal brings seasoned FinTech and crypto innovators Marko Bradic as Co-founder and Chief Product Officer (CPO) and Mohit Tilwani as Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to complement the dream team together with Sergiu Biris, Co-founder and CEO of xPortal.

  • Marko Bradic (ex-CEO of Alphalink) previously scaled Trade Republic – the $5B European Robinhood backed by Sequoia – to 4 million users, €180 million in annual revenue, and €35 billion in AUM.

  • Mohit Tilwani (ex CTO of Alphalink) brings over a decade of engineering experience to xPortal. Served as the first engineering lead at Trade Republic, he scaled systems to support 8 million customers.

One where crypto is merging with AI to deliver the best experiences to everyday users. xPortal started as a core part of MultiversX and, driven by this team of world class founders, is now becoming independent, creating its own story. I believe xPortal is poised to drive global crypto adoption, bringing unparalleled value to its users and the broader Web3 space.”
