VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIGG Digital Assets Inc. ("BIGG" or the "Company")(CSE: BIGG; OTC:BBKCF; WKN: A2PS9W), owner of Netcoins (Netcoins.app), a leading crypto brokerage platform, is pleased to provide an update on accomplishments and progress. Netcoins develops brokerage and exchange software to make the purchase and sale of cryptocurrency easily accessible to the mass consumer and investor with a focus on compliance and safety. Netcoins utilizes BitRank Verified® software at the heart of its platform and enables crypto transactions via retail locations globally, a self-serve crypto brokerage portal and an Over-The-Counter (OTC) trading desk.
Netcoins was acquired by BIGG on August 1, 2019. Subsequently, Mitchell Demeter was promoted to president. Mitchell had been acting as Vice President of Partnerships and Business Development since January 2018, and was instrumental in growing Netcoins into a leading player in the Canadian crypto brokerage space. Mitchell will now lead Netcoins into its next phase of growth.
Recently, Netcoins hit a lifetime milestone of processing $125 million in transactions since inception via online brokerage, virtual ATM and OTC services. Netcoins processed ~$59M in transactions in 2018 and through the first 3 quarters of 2019 is tracking to ~$69M in transactions for the fiscal year, despite a highly suppressed Q1 trading environment for cryptocurrencies globally.
In the wake of cryptocurrency exchange collapses and consumer and institutional security concerns, Netcoins has decided to take a leadership position in the movement to regulate crypto exchanges in Canada. Netcoins aims to work with securities regulators including the British Columbia Securities Commission in defining regulation and also becoming one of the first regulated crypto trading platforms in Canada.
Netcoins is also in the process of redesigning its trading platform and rationalizing the coins available for trading. With a goal of making the platform even more user friendly, and speeding the customer’s ability to onboard and fund their account, Netcoins expects to increase customer adoption and trades (and hence revenue) per customer. These changes have already begun and will continue throughout Q4 2019.
Netcoins president, Mitchell Demeter, commented, “We are thrilled to now be part of the BIGG Digital Assets family. Crypto winter seems to have thawed out, and Netcoins has continued to evolve in order to take full advantage of the next bull run in crypto. With a compliance first approach, we want to ensure that every customer’s money is safe and that the platform meets their needs in every way. Through new banking relationships, and the financial backing of BIGG, Netcoins is well positioned for growth into 2020 and beyond.”
