Toronto – May 13, 2025 – We’re excited to share two major developments that mark a significant step forward for APX Lending’s growth strategy in Canada and the U.S.

BIGG Digital Assets Inc., the parent company of Netcoins, Blockchain Intelligence Group, and TerraZero, has made a strategic investment in APX Lending as part of our latest fundraising round. This investment comes on the heels of APX Lending receiving Exemptive Relief from the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), a regulatory first for a crypto-backed lending platform in Canada.

Alongside the investment, we’ve also formalized a partnership with Netcoins to bring compliant crypto-backed lending to a broader retail and institutional audience. Coordinated go-to-market campaigns will launch throughout 2025, giving more Canadians and U.S. clients access to transparent, regulated lending products secured by their digital assets.

“BIGG’s investment and Netcoins’ partnership signal strong momentum for our model of secure, regulated crypto-backed lending,” said Andrei Poliakov, CEO and Founder of APX Lending. “We’re scaling responsibly, with the right partners and a clear regulatory advantage.”

Why This Matters

• APX Lending is the only crypto lender in Canada operating with CSA-granted exemptive relief
• BIGG’s investment accelerates our U.S. and Canadian expansion
• Netcoins clients will soon access lending options without selling their BTC or ETH
• Retail and institutional borrowers benefit from same-day CAD liquidity, non-rehypothecated collateral, and full transparency

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on delivering a secure, compliance-first lending experience that meets the needs of modern digital asset holders.
