Lugano, Switzerland, February 17, 2026, Press release – Nimbus Capital has entered into a $15 million strategic partnership with Chimera Wallet, a non-custodial wallet built on Bitcoin’s VTXO technology. The collaboration aims to expand decentralized finance (DeFi) functionality within the Bitcoin ecosystem and support the development of programmable financial tools on the network.
According to the companies, the partnership reflects a shared focus on building infrastructure that integrates Bitcoin’s base-layer security with additional programmability through Arkade, a layer built on Bitcoin. Through this integration, Chimera seeks to provide access to DeFi-related functionality, including swaps, lending mechanisms, liquidity features, fiat on-ramps, and payment integrations.
“We’re pleased to join forces with Nimbus Capital,” said Claudio Levrini, Founder and Director of Chimera Wallet. “This partnership combines financial expertise with Bitcoin-focused infrastructure development. Our objective is to expand Bitcoin’s utility by enabling users to transact and access decentralized financial tools while maintaining self-custody.”
Expanding Bitcoin-based financial infrastructure
Decentralized finance activity has historically been concentrated on Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains. Chimera Wallet is focused on developing Bitcoin-native financial tools designed to support non-custodial access to digital asset services directly within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Through the Nimbus partnership, Chimera plans to accelerate product development and expand infrastructure in the following areas:
Global rollout of Chimera Visa Cards to support Bitcoin-to-fiat transactions.
Integration of digital gift card services and merchant gateway systems to facilitate real-world spending.
Liquidity expansion and cross-chain interoperability to connect Bitcoin-based tools with other blockchain networks.
Development of user-facing financial features such as swaps, yield-related products, and portfolio management tools within a non-custodial framework.
“Nimbus Capital focuses on supporting technologies that advance financial infrastructure,” stated Robert Baker, Managing Partner at Nimbus Capital. “Chimera Wallet is working to extend Bitcoin’s functionality by combining its security model with additional financial tooling. We view this partnership as a step toward broader institutional and decentralized integration.”
