BIGG CEO, Mark Binns, commented:

“While Q2 2022 showed a slight revenue contraction from Q1, Blockchain Intelligence Group revenue remained steady and Netcoins significantly outperformed its trading peers by only contracting 12%, despite industry wide volumes falling by as much as 39%1. Netcoins customer base grew by over 13% in the quarter, and as volume and volatility return to the market, we are very well positioned to take advantage.

“In Q2, Netcoins also expanded coin offerings on the platform by a further 20 coins bringing our total to 36. For the majority of Q1, Netcoins was only offering 11 coins while awaiting regulatory updates. With 36 coins now offered, and a larger customer base, Netcoins continues to develop and mature as a business, and is amongst the leading crypto trading platforms in Canada.

“In Q2, BIGG also invested $2M in Luxxfolio acquiring a ~15% ownership position. This adds a diversified crypto mining company to our portfolio, which now spans trading, forensics, metaverse and mining.

“Finally, despite the crypto ‘contagion’ seen in Q2, BIGG remains healthy with no debt and no loans of customer (or company) assets. BIGG continues to develop its primary businesses and is investing in new emerging businesses and opportunities. We look forward to sharing further updates on our progress in the near future.”
