What INX does

INX (The INX Digital Company, Inc.) operates a regulated digital asset trading platform that combines cryptocurrency exchange services with tokenized real-world asset (RWA) securities trading. Through wholly-owned subsidiaries — INX Securities, LLC (SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA/SIPC member ATS), INX Digital, Inc. (FinCEN-registered money transmitter), INX Transfer Agent, LLC, and INX Limited (Gibraltar) — the company provides a unified platform at one.inx.co supporting cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, ADA, plus stablecoins and DeFi/memecoin assets), tokenized stocks (bTSLA, bNVDA, bAAPL via Backed), Republic Note, and security tokens backed by films, sports, commodities, real estate, and equity. The platform operates on Ethereum and Avalanche networks with self-custody, fiat/crypto/stablecoin funding, 24/7 markets, and integrated KYC/AML compliance.

INX monetizes primarily through transaction and brokerage fees: 1.5% commission on security token notional (plus $1 network service fee) and 0.3% maker / 0.4% taker on crypto trades, with additional revenue from funding/withdrawal fees, referral commissions from partners (Republic, Siebert), and B2B payment infrastructure fees via the TCS Blockchain/PYUSD stablecoin integration. The company pursues a hybrid go-to-market: self-serve retail through the platform, enterprise sales via its broker-dealer for issuer services, and channel partnerships with Republic (3M community, $2B+ deployed) and Siebert (NASDAQ: SIEB) for RWA distribution. As of November 10, 2025, INX operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OpenDeal Inc. (d/b/a Republic) following a transaction approved by shareholders and FINRA, combining INX's regulated infrastructure with Republic's investment platform network. Q1 2024 revenue was $1.5M with a $2.6M net loss from operations, against a balance sheet of $24.8M operating capital, $20M working capital, and a $34.4M reserve fund for customer protection.

Revenue model

1. Transaction and Brokerage Fees: INX earns transaction-based fees on executed trades. For security tokens, both buyer and seller pay 1.5% commission on notional amount sold, plus $1 network service fee per order. For cryptocurrency trading, maker fee is 0.3% and taker fee is 0.4% of notional amount. This is the primary revenue driver as stated in Q1 2024 financial results.
2. Referral and Commission Revenue: Under the expanded Republic partnership, INX earns commissions from revenues Republic generates from securities issuers referred by INX. The Siebert referral agreement similarly generates revenue from introductions of RWA projects. INX also earns fees from primary raise services for issuers conducting token offerings.
3. Fiat and Crypto Withdrawal/Deposit Fees: Various fees on funding and withdrawal methods: ACH withdrawal $5, wire withdrawal $35 domestic/international, credit/debit card deposit 3.75%, converted withdrawals 1.2% with $30 minimum, converted deposits 1.2%. Crypto withdrawal fees vary by asset (e.g., BTC 0.0005, ETH 0.013, USDC $5).
