The fintech firm offers a customizable widget that developers can embed into their product to allow conversion of crypto and instant settlement of transactions. It currently supports multiple cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin , Ethereum , Solana , Stellar , and USD Coin . The widget won't be available to U.K. customers, the two companies said in a press release.
Bitstamp will help the fintech firm manage fiat-to-cryptocurrency conversion and transfers to consumers. This, in turn, will expand the crypto exchange’s Bitstamp-as-a-service product, the white-label version of its crypto trading services to banks and fintechs.
On June 6, the popular trading firm Robinhood (HOOD) said it would buy Bitstamp in a $200 million all-cash deal. The move aims to expand the exchange's reach beyond the U.S. and compete with peers including Coinbase.
