BIGG Digital Assets Co-Founder Shone Anstey Returns as a Strategic Advisor; Update on Digital Asset Due Diligence Audit Service Offering


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (“BIGG” or the “Company”) (CSE: BIGG; OTCQX: BBKCF; WKN: A2PS9W), a leading innovator in the digital assets space and owner of Netcoins, and Blockchain Intelligence Group and TerraZero is pleased to announce the addition of Due Diligence Audits to its arsenal of digital asset investigations and compliance services. This strategic move comes in response to the proliferate demand for digital asset auditing solutions arising after the discovery of the multi-billion dollar FTX fraud in November 2022. There is vast business potential, and a regulatory need, within the digital asset market for auditing and due diligence services. BIGG recently completed a proof of reserves and platform due diligence audit for Wonderfi Technologies Inc., Canada’s largest regulated crypto investing platform.

The Company is also pleased to announce that Shone Anstey, Blockchain Intelligence Group (BIG) original co-founder and pioneering blockchain data expert, has rejoined the Company as a strategic advisor. Mr. Anstey will work with our prospective AI partners, assisting to integrate new technologies with BIG’s more than 28 Billion data points (see news release dated December 7, 2023).

Mr. Anstey, a veteran technology business owner and former founding member of Blockchain Intelligence Group, serves as the CEO of LQWD Technologies Corp. (TSXV: LQWD) - a premier Canadian Bitcoin Lightning Network company. Mr. Anstey brings a vast amount of technical expertise and relevant knowledge in the digital asset space.

“I am tremendously excited to rejoin BIGG as a Strategic Advisor. Applying Artificial Intelligence, Machine and Deep Learning to BIG’s massive dataset, is something we were only able to imagine when we started the Company. This initiative will not only provide advantages for our BIG and Netcoins clients, but may also provide proactive anti-fraud, anti-theft, anti-trafficking tools that have not previously been available to law enforcement globally. I look forward to working with the team at BIGG to develop and advance these product offerings. As a major stakeholder of BIGG, holding more than 90% of my original equity, I am truly invested in the continued growth and success of the Company,” commented Shone Anstey.
