Cryptocurrencies have advanced far beyond their position a few years ago and are now recognized by governments. Cryptocurrencies, which have entered regulations, exchanges, and court records, are recognized as legitimate assets. This historic shift for the crypto industry, shedding its underground, high-risk, and fear-inducing image, continues to drive new steps forward.
Ledger and Revolut
According to a recent announcement, the crypto-friendly bank Revolut has partnered with Ledger. Integrated exchange services for BTC and other cryptocurrencies will be provided in the European Economic Area. Through Revolut, cryptocurrencies can be bought and sold via Ledger Live in 27 countries, including Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Ireland, Latvia, Malta, and Switzerland.
The new integration will be available to Revolut customers in the specified countries who have completed KYC checks. The press release stated:
“With more people wanting to join the digital asset economy, self-custody will naturally become the focus when they want to benefit from crypto. Users can now trade with Revolut Ramp while securely self-custodying their assets.”
Launched in 2015, Revolut is based in the United Kingdom and serves over 40 million users. Moreover, it stands out as the most valuable fintech company in the country.
