Our take
Bitcoin is fast becoming an important way in which individuals store their wealth, but it is still very new to banks and personal finance services. BlockFi is part of a growing number of cryptoasset providers that are helping bitcoin go mainstream.
BlockFi sets itself apart from other cryptoasset service providers by pairing competitive rates with institutional-quality benefits. Ultimately, they have made their platform accessible, easy-to-use and trusted.
Moving forward, they are planning on investing recent funding in developing their product suite, expanding into new global markets and towards strategic acquisitions.
