Our Story

In early 2023, we set out to build APX Lending driven by our previous success running one of the first and largest licensed crypto trading platforms in Canada.

Blockchain technology will continue to reshape the financial industry, transforming how we interact financially as a society. However, mass adoption of blockchain-based financial products depends on building businesses and solutions that prioritize compliance, security, simplicity, and transparency. Recent industry events have only reinforced this belief.
