BIGG CEO, Mark Binns, commented:

“2022 was a challenging year in the global crypto industry, and despite reduced trading activity sector wide, BIGG continued to advance the products and offerings of our portfolio companies. Netcoins launched 25 new coins in 2022, and began expansion into the USA in December with a mobile first app launch. Blockchain Intelligence Group grew revenue by 27% and expanded product offerings including launching the world's first NFT Explorer along with its portal, NFTmapping.com. BIG also expanded its compliance suite (QLUE and BitRank) to support 14 blockchains, including 425,849 ERC-20 tokens and 108,450 NFT collections.

Portfolio company TerraZero announced plans to go public in 2023, which we anticipate will occur over the course of the next 3 months. TerraZero has cultivated an impressive list of industry-leading clients for Metaverse activations including Estée Lauder, Fidelity International, PwC and Warner Records. TerraZero generated an impressive $940k in revenue in 2022, given its early stage of growth.

As we look forward, BIGG believes the need for compliant and regulation focused trading and forensic tools is greater than ever. We have great companies that continue to advance, and believe we are very well positioned for the next bull market in crypto. BIGG will continue to develop its primary businesses and invest in new emerging businesses and opportunities. We look forward to sharing further updates on our progress in the near future.”
