Oslo, 20. November 2025 - Norwegian Block Exchange AS (NBX), a leading Nordic
Crypto Service Provider, announced that it acquired 50% of Flip Company AS from
Autonomous Investments AS. The Flip Company AS is a Norwegian software company
specializing in non-custodial wallet solutions, the Flip App has about 1 million
downloads and the Flip App users will be able to access NBX services directly
from the Flip App.
This follows NBX's strategy to acquire complementary products and services to
its existing regulated digital asset platform. The combination creates a strong
value proposition in the Nordics by combining regulated custodial services with
non-custodial ease of use. Stablecoin circulation has grown more than 10X to
above $220 billion in the last 5 years, and the Flip App enables an efficient
and low-cost way to use stablecoins that fits alongside NBX's strategic
investments in USDM and other stablecoins.
Through Flip Company's technology, users gain control over their private keys
and digital assets in self-custody solutions aligned with crypto's
decentralization principles leading to enhanced privacy and autonomy in addition
to direct blockchain access without intermediaries.
"This partnership represents further development in our cryptocurrency
services," said Stig Kjos-Mathisen CEO of Norwegian Block Exchange. "We see that
it has become more and more important to reach and offer services to customers
outside of the custodial role, bridging the Flip app and the NBX platform allow
us to offer the best of both worlds".
The global non-custodial wallet market is experiencing strong growth, valued at
USD 3.5 billion in 2024. Meanwhile, regulatory frameworks like MiCA are creating
new opportunities for compliant, user-centric crypto services.
"The future of cryptocurrency isn't about choosing between centralization and
decentralization-it's about having options," added Gotfred Berntsen of The Flip
App. "This partnership allows us to serve everyone".
