Edubuk, an AI and blockchain startup, has secured a $50 million strategic investment commitment from Nimbus Capital. This funding marks a major milestone for the company as it prepares to redefine global hiring infrastructure and launch its native $EBUK reward token. The announcement was made on March 24, 2026, showcasing the startup’s rapid growth in the tech industry.
How will Edubuk use the $50 million investment?
The investment led by Nimbus Capital will help Edubuk address the massive issue of fake credentials and broken verification systems. It is estimated that over 500 million profiles worldwide suffer from verification problems, representing a market of more than $50 billion. Edubuk aims to build a transparent, skill-first workforce by establishing a trust layer for the future of work. The capital will also support the launch of the $EBUK token, which will reward users for learning and verifying skills.
