Airbitz is one of the Bitcoin companies that is in virtually everybody’s good graces. The company has struck a partnership with South African Bitcoin exchange iceCUBED-X. As a result, Bitcoin enthusiasts can expect some exciting new features moving forward. Another feather in the cap for Bitcoin as a whole.
When an independent Bitcoin wallet service partners with an exchange platform, interesting things are bound to happen. A first feature is already available as of today. Airbitz users in South Africa can buy Bitcoin directly from the wallet, as they are redirected to iceCUBED-X. Quite an interesting feature that a lot of people will appreciate.
Airbitz and iceCUBED-X Have Big Plans
What makes the Airbitz Bitcoin wallet so appealing is how users are in full control over their funds at all times. To be more precise, even if the company servers would go down, users can still send and receive funds. This is something that is not possible in the realm of traditional finance. If a bank would face technical difficulties, users have no access to their funds.
iceCUBED-X Founder and CEO Gareth Grobler told the media:
“I have come across enough Bitcoin companies, wallets and pretty much anything else you can think of in the Bitcoin space, to know that Airbitz is one of the most reputable, ethical and simply “likeable” companies around. Paul heads up a team of Silicon Valley’s best, which is why I am happy to personally recommend the Airbitz app to all our customers at iceCUBED-X.”
iceCUBED-X is one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges in South Africa. Although most people hardly keep tabs on the Bitcoin ecosystem in that region, the platform has seen its fair share of success. Now that both companies have teamed up, collaboration on new services and tools will commence.
Partnerships will help strengthen the Bitcoin ecosystem as a whole. Integrating these types of functionality will make buying and selling cryptocurrency more convenient for all users. If Bitcoin is destined to gain mainstream traction, solutions like these will help in gaining critical mass.
