Mark Binns, CEO of BIGG, commented:

“Q1 2022 demonstrated continued revenue growth and expansion for Blockchain Intelligence Group, setting a new quarterly revenue high of over $500,000 for the first time, underscoring our ongoing marketing program is performing well. Despite a decline in trading volume and revenue, Netcoins exceeded industry norms for the quarter and we believe we gained market share in Canada. Coinbase saw 58% for comparison purposes2 Decrease in retail volume in Q1 vs. Q4. Our customer base grew 24% in the first quarter and with volume and volatility returning to the market we are very well positioned to take advantage of that.

Netcoins also expanded the coin offering on the platform to 16 in Q1 and then added 15 more coins in Q2, bringing our total to 31. For most of Q1, Netcoins only offered 11 coins while awaiting regulatory updates. With 31 coins on offer and a larger customer base, Netcoins continues to evolve and mature as a business.

In 2022, Blockchain Intelligence Group has already expanded coverage to 11 blockchains, including over 372,000 ERC-20 tokens, with further blockchain expansion planned.

During the first quarter, BIGG also invested in TerraZero, acquiring a ~30% ownership position, and TerraZero began generating revenue and servicing brands such as Miller Lite. We expect TerraZero to continue to buy, lease, mortgage and rent properties from Metaverse and serve a rapidly growing international brand base with virtual buildings, wearables and experiences.

Finally, despite a soft crypto market so far in 2022, BIGG continues to develop its core businesses and invest in emerging businesses and opportunities. We look forward to sharing more updates on our progress in the near future.”
