Easygroup, the company behind Easyjet and Easyhotel, enters the crypto with the launch of easyboin.app, a mobile platform built with retort to make the purchase and the outfit of Bitcoin Simpler for retail users, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.
This decision comes as Bitcoin exchanges near the record peaks and investigations show increasing confidence in the asset. The largest cryptocurrency in the world was negotiated about $ 112,650 at the time of publication.
A study commissioned by Holving revealed that 88% of American respondents trust that Bitcoin increases its wealth in the next decade, with 39% to classify it among their three best investments, in front of gold and just behind real estate. Despite this, almost half said that trading remains too complex.
EasyBitcoin aims to reduce obstacles with incentives, including a welcome bonus at 1% on recurring purchases, 2% annual awards for long -term holders and 4.5% of USD sales paid in Bitcoin, supported by 2.5 million dollars in FDIC insurance, said the company.
“Investing in Bitcoin seemed to be an exclusive club, out of reach of the general public with very high transaction costs,” said Easygroup founder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, in the press release. “With easybitcoin, we want to change this.”
Rassold has commissioned a survey of 1,001 American respondents, aged 25 to 50, all holding at least one university degree and obtaining a minimum of $ 80,000 per year, between June and July this year.
A British version of the application is scheduled for later this year, said EasyGroup.
