Bitcoin Buying Gets a Boost with New Blockchain-Coinify Partnership

Blockchain, arguably bitcoin’s most prominent wallet provider has commenced beta-testing a feature that will enable users to fund their bitcoin wallets near-instantaneously and directly. The feature comes as the result of a partnership between Blockchain and Danish Fintech payments startup Coinify.
Following the announcement, Blockchain CEO Peter Smith stated:
This announcement represents a giant step forward in making bitcoin, still a nascent currency, a more compelling and efficient financial solution for new users.
The in-wallet buying feature is aimed to circumvent the traditional process of buying that typically sees high fees, identity verification hurdles and intermediary service providers. The new buying option, powered by Coinify’s payment platform, will facilitate the process of purchasing bitcoin with near-instant wallet funding via credit or debit cards.
