The FCA-licensed digital money platform has recognised the potential of Waves to play a significant role in the future infrastructure of the internet.
The future of blockchain is not simply cryptocurrency. It is blockchain and crypto, integrated into every sector and every area of life, just as the internet, social media and communications technology have permeated every aspect of our lives. Over the past two and a half years, Waves has positioned itself not just as a leading technology provider, but as thought leaders, as a grassroots platform, as a force in business development and through integration with the mainstream financial industry.
Waves has made yet another step forward in its progress towards its ultimate goal thanks to a partnership with Wirex, a UK-based and FCA-licenced digital money platform that facilitates the seamless conversion of cryptos and traditional currency. Wirex provides crypto wallets linked to physical and virtual Visa debit cards, amongst other crypto and traditional exchange and payment solutions.
Unique contributions, ideal partnership
Wirex has joined forces with Waves and added the WAVES token to its platform, reflecting the unique contribution that Waves has made to the blockchain and virtual currency space. The partnership is the ideal match, as Pavel Matveev, CEO and Co-founder of Wirex, comments. ‘While the Waves Platform is a bridge between the web and blockchain, we are a bridge between traditional and digital currencies. Together we solve many pain points in the industry. Our platform provides extra liquidity for cryptocurrencies and gives investors the ability to convert and spend their crypto instantly with our Wirex Visa card. Investors who buy WAVES through our platform will know they are with a safe, agile, cost-effective service. In addition, our existing users will have another strong and popular token to add to their portfolios.’
The news follows a great month for Waves, which recently released its fully-updated mobile app and launched new smart contracts functionality on MainNet — developments which also see it push closer to widespread adoption as a technology solution for businesses. As Waves founder and CEO Sasha Ivanov explains, ‘We see Waves as the bridge that will facilitate the transition from web 2.0 to web 3.0. The goal of our team is to put tools in place that will allow both enterprise and individuals to easily implement their own blockchains, while improving the UX of dApps and blockchain infrastructure.’
In short, the Waves team is thrilled to announce such a major and strategic partnership — something echoed by Dmitry Lazarichev, Wirex CEO and co-founder. ‘With our aim to collaborate with the best companies to produce innovative solutions in the crypto space, we recognised Waves as a highly professional and cutting-edge project and look forward to growing the relationship.’
