"Web3 is a big part of the creator economy already, from social tokens to NFTs and cryptocurrency. This is just one step that BBTV is taking to pioneer Web3 solutions for creators in this fast-emerging segment of the creator economy," commented
Shahrzad Rafati, Chairperson and CEO, BBTV. "Receiving a portion or all of their monthly earnings in crypto helps creators further diversify their income. Creators have been really vocal about their interest in entering the
Web3 revolution, and we're very proud to lead the way as their strategic partner. We're excited to provide Pay to Crypto leveraging Netcoins as a strong platform."
The new Pay To Crypto premium payment solution expands on BBTV's financial solutions for creators, which also includes BBTV Fast Pay. In addition to providing optionality for creators to finance their growth in innovative ways, BBTV's growing offering of financial solutions leverages the Company's extensive library of content and scale to add incremental gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA to the business.
"Cryptocurrency is a powerful way for creators to participate in the Web3 economy, " commented
BIGG CEO, Mark Binns. "Whether they're early adopters or making their first foray into crypto, converting their payments from USD into other currencies changes the narrative of what their payments can do. BBTV is an outstanding showcase of the scalability and capability of the Netcoins platform for anyone interested in crypto, not just in
Canada but around the world."
Netcoins is a subsidiary of BIGG Digital Assets Inc., and has stated that it has registered users exceeding 100,000 as of
November 29th, 2021, illustrating the cryptocurrency brokerage's ability to scale and facilitate cryptocurrency payments for BBTV's creator base. In Q3 2021, Netcoins also made the significant step of receiving the first Canadian restricted dealer license for a cryptocurrency trading platform, owned by a public company, in
Canada.
"BBTV's crypto-payment option is another service innovation from a partner I've come to rely on for outside-the-box benefits," commented
Joseph Hogue, content creator behind 'Let's Talk Money!'. "Converting payments from USD to Crypto, it was up to a week before a transfer was cleared to move into my digital wallet on another platform. Being paid directly in cryptocurrency saves me time and at a minimal charge compared to the multiple transfers from my bank to different wallets. Along with BBTV's Fast Pay accelerated payment service, the company is taking creator management to a whole new level to empower creators."
