Fraser Matthews of BIGG Digital Assets talks to Cantech Letter

Vancouver-based BIGG Digital Assets (BIGG Digital Assets Stock Quote, Chart, News, Analysts, Financials TSXV:BIGG) is “at the centre of a fast-maturing crypto economy,” said Fraser Matthews, a director and head of its Netcoins trading platform, in a Nov. 4 interview on the Cantech Letter YouTube channel.

Speaking with Ticker Take host Jon Erlichman at the 2025 Cantech Investment Conference in Toronto, Matthews said trading volumes on Netcoins have climbed from $285-million to about $1-billion in just two years, as cryptocurrency adoption becomes increasingly integrated into financial services and money movement.

Matthews said the rapid rise in activity reflects how digital assets are evolving into a mainstream component of modern finance.

“The crypto economy has rapidly expanded over the last few years,” he said. “Adoption is normalizing, we’re seeing it become more commonplace in financial transactions.”

Asked how investors should view the sector, Matthews said it all begins with Bitcoin, but the broader opportunity lies in the infrastructure being built around it.

“People say it’s a crypto asset, but that asset is underpinned by new infrastructure, new rails and new stores of value that are moving around,” he said. “The economy of crypto is really taking on financial services.”

Matthews said BIGG is focused on supporting that infrastructure layer.

BIGG Digital Assets owns and operates several blockchain-focused businesses, including Netcoins, a regulated Canadian cryptocurrency trading platform, and Blockchain Intelligence Group, which provides blockchain analytics and compliance tools for financial institutions and law enforcement agencies.
