Company with a mission to provide secure currency for the emerging markets selects Thoughtworks to establish the “foundations for growth.”
Xapo, an industry leader in secure Bitcoin storage, has partnered with Thoughtworks, a global technology consultancy that integrates strategy, design and engineering, to drive digital innovation and its global expansion over the next 18 months.
The program will see Xapo become a globally accessible bank, offering an international USD bank account with regulated access to Bitcoin.
