Our take

Cryptocurrency has received increased acceptance in mainstream spaces but still only holds a small portion of the overall market, particularly due to uncertainty surrounding regulations. Newton.co is one company that looks to overturn these doubts by operating a widely accessible, open trading platform.

By providing a simple interface at a significantly reduced cost than its competitors, Newton offers a more attractive option for first-time investors. This is backed up by the company's intense focus on transparency surrounding successes and failures, especially attractive given the tumultuous market environment.

Well-funded by leading investors, Newton.co has been channelling funds into the further development of its infrastructure and platform, as well as making growth efforts and increasing hiring to build out its team. As attitudes towards crypto continue to change, it will be interesting to see what moves the company makes next.
