APX Lending Announces Landmark Decision of Canadian Securities Regulators

TORONTO, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - APX Lending is pleased to announce the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) have issued a first-of-its kind decision, granting the company exemptive relief from certain registration and prospectus requirements, dated April 1, 2025 (https://www.osc.ca/en/securities-law/orders-rulings-decisions/apx-inc). This positions APX Lending to be the first crypto-backed lender in Canada to provide borrowers with a secure and compliance-focused solution to access liquidity using their digital assets as collateral.

The global crypto-backed lending market is projected to exceed $45 billion by 2030, underscoring the growing demand for trusted solutions that integrate digital assets into the traditional economy. APX Lending is addressing this demand with an institutional-grade lending platform where users can deposit Bitcoin or Ethereum as collateral and access liquidity through flexible, competitive loan terms.

With industry-leading security, strict adherence to Canadian regulatory directives, and insured cold storage custody, APX Lending offers a level of protection that sets it apart from other lenders. A robust risk management framework facilitates transparency, safety, and security for both retail and institutional borrowers.

"Crypto-backed lending should be safe, secure, and simple to access," said Andrei Poliakov, founder and CEO of APX Lending. "By engaging with Canadian regulators and leading the way in Canada, we are setting a new benchmark for compliance and security in crypto-backed lending, helping retail and institutional borrowers unlock liquidity while maintaining ownership of their digital assets. This marks a major step toward integrating crypto into mainstream finance and building a truly global, compliance-focused crypto-backed lending ecosystem."

Beyond its core lending platform, APX Lending is seeing increased interest in its white-label lending solution, which allows banks, financial institutions and other lenders to seamlessly integrate crypto-backed lending into their offerings. With this regulatory milestone, APX Lending is set to begin servicing Canadian clients while further expanding into the US, Australia, New Zealand, and other global markets.
