Blockchain.com, a leading crypto platform, announced an expansion in its partnership with Bakkt Crypto Solutions, a trusted crypto service provider, to allow residents in all 50 U.S. states to buy cryptocurrency directly within the Blockchain.com App.
This collaboration brings secure and compliant crypto buying to U.S. residents in all states by leveraging Bakkt’s leading role in regulated crypto trading. Users can now seamlessly purchase select cryptocurrencies within the familiar Blockchain.com app, benefiting from the platform’s industry-leading security features. The option to buy was extended to the 8 states Blockchain.com previously didn’t offer brokerage features in, through working with Bakkt Crypto Solutions.
“We consider this expansion to be particularly meaningful, given the important role that states such as New York, Texas, and Virginia have in the industry” said Lane Kassleman, President at Blockchain.com. “We are very proud of working together with Bakkt to finally give all Americans the crypto trading experience they deserve”.
Thanks to Bakkt, Blockchain.com is now able to offer crypto buying in all US states, with the partnership also covering key states such as Nevada, New Jersey, Louisiana, Hawaii, Texas, Tennessee, and Virginia.
“Partnering with an important player in the industry such as Blockchain underscores our mission to offer secure and regulated crypto trading,” said Andy Main, CEO of Bakkt. “Supporting Blockchain to reach all 50 U.S. states is an exciting next step in our partnership and an opportunity to capture a growing market together.”
One of the key areas of focus for the partnership has been security and compliance, with the companies ensuring that the integration adheres to all necessary regulatory requirements. Blockchain.com implements the highest industry standards when it comes to security, with measures such as multi-signature validation and regular security audits.
