BIGG Digital Assets Inc., an innovator in the digital assets space and owner of Netcoins, Blockchain Intelligence Group, and TerraZero is pleased to announce a strategic investment in APX Lending by BIGG Digital Assets and the formation of a partnership between APX Lending and Netcoins.
BIGG Digital Assets has reportedly invested in APX Lending’s latest fundraising round.
APX Lending will use the funds for “further growth in Canada and the US.”
Last month, APX Lending received Exemptive Relief from the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) – a key decision “for a crypto-backed lending business in Canada.”
Netcoins and APX Lending have entered into a partnership to “expand crypto-backed lending in Canada and the U.S., with coordinated go-to-market efforts planned throughout 2025.”
Netcoins CEO Fraser Matthews said:
“The global crypto-backed lending market is projected to exceed $45 billion by 2030, and Netcoins wants to ensure that our clients are at the forefront of access to this product. Andrei Poliakov has a long track record of success, and we are very excited to introduce our users to crypto lending, both as an investor and as a partner.”
Andrei Poliakov, CEO and Founder, APX Lending said:
“The demand we’ve seen for compliant and regulated crypto-backed lending has been consistently strong, especially as more investors look to unlock liquidity without compromising security. BIGG’s investment and the partnership with Netcoins reinforce the momentum we’re building. With a clear regulatory advantage and the right partners, we’re well-positioned to continue to scale across Canada and the US in 2025 and beyond.”
As noted in the update, APX Lending is a crypto-backed lending platform, providing “instant liquidity to borrowers while maintaining compliance and security.”
The company enables retail and institutional borrowers to “leverage their digital assets without selling them, offering a secure and compliance-focused borrowing experience.”
Founded by Andrei Poliakov, co-founder of Coinberry, one of Canada’s oldest and largest regulated crypto exchanges, APX Lending is enabling “the future of regulated crypto-backed lending worldwide.”
As covered, BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (BIGG) believes “the future of crypto is a safe, compliant, and regulated environment.”
To support this vision, BIGG invests “in products and companies.”
BIGG has three “portfolio companies: Netcoins (Netcoins.com), Blockchain Intelligence Group (BlockchainGroup.io), and TerraZero (TerraZero.com).”
As mentioned in the announcement, Netcoins offers crypto trading in Canada and the US, “with a mission to make crypto trading easy.”
It has a product offering with “over 60 assets for Crypto Trading, Netcoins Pay Mastercard, and Staking.”
Netcoins facilitates crypto trading via its Mobile and Web applications, API, and OTC Trading Desk.
As previously reported, Blockchain Intelligence Group is “a digital asset forensics, anti-money laundering detection, and cryptocurrency investigations company.”
