TransferGo – a remittance operator based in the UK – has reportedly become the first remittance service provider in the world to offer digital currency trading – according to Bloomberg. This development came to light on the 27 of July.
The Supported Digital Currencies
The UK-based remittance service now lets users purchase and sell 5 major digital currencies, such as Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin (BTC), XRP (XRP), Ethereum (ETH), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). According to Daumantus Dvilinskas – the founder and CEO of TransferGo – the digital currency trading option was launched in response to high demand from their client base.
He said: “With more than 4,000 users signing up in the first couple of hours, it is obvious that there is a very strong demand for a reliable and simple trading and investment solution.”
