BIGG CEO, Mark Binns, commented:

“Q1 2023 showed a nice uptick in the broad crypto market and crypto trading as well. Netcoin’s trading volume and revenue increased nicely quarter over quarter. Our customer base continued to grow in Q1 and Netcoins continued to expand its US operational footprint with the launch of its platform in New Jersey, Indiana, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, Delaware, Wyoming, Utah and South Carolina. The combined population of the 16 active states is over 122 million, giving Netcoins a significant opportunity for growth for its No Fee Trading platform.

Netcoins added three new cryptoassets during the first quarter: NEAR Protocol (NEAR) (Market cap $1,699,858,471), QUANT (QNT) (market cap $1,633,462,936) and Cosmos (ATOM) (Market cap $3,310,705,840). Netcoin’s total coin supply is now 37 coins.

Netcoins Canada has also been approved to offer Investment in Canada with which we expect to launch in June Ethereum (ETH). This will be a significant step in the growth of the platform. With Crypto Trading, Pay and Staking, the portfolio of products offered to Canadians is among the best in the country.

In Q1, Blockchain Intelligence Group (“BIG”) continued to add support for new blockchains, which include Cardano, Stacks, Doge, Monero, Zcash, Tron (TRX) and more. By expanding its ecosystem of supported blockchains, BIG is in able to better serve investigators in their efforts to follow transactions wherever they may lead.BIG was also honored as the recipient of the 2022 Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Private Sector Partnership Award at the 6th annual HSI New York awards ceremony. The award was presented to BIG for significant cooperation with HSI and other law enforcement agencies that resulted in the first federal arrests related to a non-fungible token (NFT) drawdown scam and prevented more victims from being defrauded.

TerraZero, our web3 investment, also showed excellent revenue growth in Q1 while working with clients such as Warner Records’ Bebe Rexhaas well as Estée Lauder, Fidelity International and PwC.

Overall, the crypto industry remains challenged in 2023, but BIGG continues to develop and advance its companies and investments every quarter, while properly sizing our burn, which has been reflected in our significantly improved bottom line. We look forward to sharing further updates on our progress in the near future.”
